American Writers

Supplement V
Edition 5
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.

Review:

"Adds 18 writers to the series, including Stephen King, Cynthia Ozick, and Upton Sinclair. American Writers is distinguished from the other numerous resources on similar topics by its longer, more in-depth treatments."
-- Reference Books Bulletin (June 1 & 15, 2000)
