Gale Catalog - American Writers

American Writers

Published by Charles Scribner's Sons

This collection of critical and biographical articles covers hundreds of notable authors from the 17th century to the present day. Signed essays, 12-15 pages in length by noted scholars, provide thought-provoking insights into the lives, careers and works of American writers. Each Supplement covers approximately 20 additional authors.

"Designed for the general reader, the writing style and structure are simple, but the subject matter and excellent bibliographies will prove equally valuable to serious scholars of American literature."
--ARBA, March 2009
