Each generation revises literary history and this is nowhere more
evident than in the post-Second World War period. This 2011
Companion offers a comprehensive, authoritative and accessible
overview of the diversity of American fiction since the Second
World War. Essays by nineteen distinguished scholars provide
critical insights into the significant genres, historical contexts,
cultural diversity and major authors during a period of enormous
American global political and cultural power. This power is
overshadowed, nevertheless, by national anxieties growing out of
events ranging from the Civil Rights Movement to the rise of
feminism; from the Cold War and its fear of Communism and nuclear
warfare to the Age of Terror and its different yet related fears of
the 'Other'. American fiction since 1945 has faithfully chronicled
these anxieties. An essential reference guide, this Companion
provides a chronology of the period, as well as guides to further
reading.
