American Literature in Transition, 1950-1960 explores the
under-recognized complexity and variety of 1950s American
literature by focalizing discussions through a series of keywords
and formats that encourage readers to draw fresh connections among
literary form and concepts, institutions, cultures, and social
phenomena important to the decade. The first section draws
attention to the relationship between literature and cultural
phenomena that were new to the 1950s. The second section
demonstrates the range of subject positions important in the 1950s,
but still not visible in many accounts of the era. The third
section explores key literary schools or movements associated with
the decade, and explains how and why they developed at this
particular cultural moment. The final section focuses on specific
forms or genres that grew to special prominence during the 1950s.
Taken together, the chapters in the four sections not only
encourage us to rethink familiar texts and figures in new lights,
but they also propose new archives for future study of the decade.
