Through a diversity of primary source resources that include works
by politicians and literary figures, book reviews, and interviews,
this book enables student readers to better understand literature
of the Great Depression in context through original documents.
Oklahoma drought refugees seeking livelihood in California, rural
white Mississippians, and African American migrants making new
lives in Chicago all represented the dramatic transitions across
the spectrum of American life during the Great Depression. These
vastly different groups of Americans still shared common
experiences of desperation and poverty during the 1930s. This book
focuses on literary works by three Depression-era authors—William
Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and Richard Wright—and supplies dozens
of primary source documents that serve to illuminate the harsh
realities of life in the 1930s and enable students to better
appreciate key pieces in American literature from the Great
Depression era. The Depression Era: A Historical Exploration of
Literature gives readers historical context for multiple works of
American literature about the Great Depression through a wide range
of features, including chronologies, essays explaining key events,
and primary document excerpts as well as support materials that
include activities, lesson plans, discussion questions, topics for
further research, and suggested readings. The book's coverage
includes William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying (1930), John Steinbeck's
Of Mice and Men (1937), The Grapes of Wrath (1939), and Richard
Wright's Native Son (1940).
