Reynolds,Guy

Twentieth century American women's fiction: a critical introduction - London Macmillan Press 1999 - ix,253p.

This wide-ranging introduction to American women writers and their work explores how they have established their identity.
Reynolds (English and American Literature at the U. of Kent) examines both the classic and lesser-known authors of the period and places their works in successive cultural contexts, from the end of the Victorian era and suffrage through the rethinking of feminist politics in the 1960s to the present day. Recognizing regional and ethnic differences, he maps connections between the writers and explores recurring themes such as national identity and political engagement.
