This work serves as a companion volume to "Contemporary British Literature," focusing on the landscape of American literature post-World War I.

after 1914. The beginning of the work establishes its purpose and form, detailing how it intends to cater to readers seeking insightful guidance in American literature. It outlines the selection criteria for included authors, emphasizing not just popularity but also literary significance and experimental qualities in their work.
