Beskrivning

This book tests critical reassessments of US radical writing of the 1930s against recent developments in theories of modernism and the avant-garde. Part Two analyzes the output of proletarian novelists, considered alongside contemporaneous works by established modernist authors as well as more mainstream, popular titles.
