Title: American literature and culture, 1900-1960
Description: "Say "America" and certain adjectives come readily to mind. Because of the nation's wealth, energy, and global presence during the twentieth century almost everyone has a view of America. This introduction to American literature and culture addresses four common conceptions of the United States: that it is "big," "rich," "new," and "free." Designed to illustrate the artistic and social climate in the USA from 1900 to 1960, the book discusses a range of artistic and cultural productions from the period that reinforce, revise, dispute, or deny these commonly held views of the country."--Jacket.
