Building on insights from the fields of textual criticism,
bibliography, narratology, authorship studies, and book history,
The Preface: American Authorship in the Twentieth Century examines
the role that prefaces played in the development of professional
authorship in America. Many of the prefaces written by American
writers in the twentieth century catalogue the shifting landscape
of a more self-consciously professionalized trade, one fraught with
tension and compromise, and influenced by evolving reading publics.
With analyses of Willa Cather, Ring Lardner, F. Scott Fitzgerald,
Ernest Hemingway, Robert Penn Warren, and Toni Morrison, Ross K.
Tangedal argues that writers used prefaces as a means of expanding
and complicating authority over their work and, ultimately, as a
way to write about their careers. Tangedal's approach offers a new
way of examining American writers in the evolving literary
marketplace of the twentieth century.
