An incisive study of modern American literature, casting new light
on its origins and themes. Exploring canonical American writers
such as Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner alongside
less familiar writers like Djuna Barnes and Susan Glaspell, the
guide takes readers though a diverse literary landscape. It
considers how the rise of the American metropolis contributed to
the growth of American modernism; and also examines the ways in
which regional writers responded to an accelerated American
modernity. Taking in African American modernism, cultural and
geographical exile, as well as developments in modern American
drama, the guide introduces readers to current critical trends in
modernist studies. Key Features *Presents American literary
modernism as emerging from a broad intellectual and philosophical

parameters of American modernism *Provides close critical and
contextual analysis of more than thirty American writers and key
texts including Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, F. Scott
Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Djuna Barnes's Nightwood, and T. S.
Eliot's The Waste Land
