Literary journalism is a rich field of study that has played an
important role in the creation of the English and American literary
canons. In this original and engaging study, Doug Underwood focuses
on the many notable journalists-turned-novelists found at the
margins of fact and fiction since the early eighteenth century,
when the novel and the commercial periodical began to emerge as
powerful cultural forces. Writers from both sides of the Atlantic
are discussed, from Daniel Defoe to Charles Dickens, and from Mark
Twain to Joan Didion. Underwood shows how many literary reputations
are built on journalistic foundations of research and reporting,
and how this impacts on questions of realism and authenticity
throughout the work of many canonical authors. This book will be of
great interest to researchers and students of British and American
literature.
