Literary Legacies of the Federal Writers' Project

Voices of the Depression in the American Postwar Era - Previously published in hardcover
Book on DemandKartoniert, Paperback
110 Seiten
Englisch
Springererschienen am25.07.2018Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017
The first book-length literary analysis of the WPA´s Federal Writers´ Project (FWP)-a massive New Deal program that put thousands to work documenting the country during the Depression. Drawing on critical histories, archival documents, and select works of fiction, the book examines the nature and history of the FWP´s documentary method and its literary imprint, particularly on three key black American writers: Ralph Ellison, Dorothy West, and Margaret Walker. By aiming their documentary lenses so precisely on individual voices, folklore, and cultural communities, FWP writers would ultimately eschew the social realism of thirties culture in favor of themes surrounding personal and cultural identities in the postwar era. This concise volume demonstrates how the FWP served as a repository from which many of the most treasured 20th century writers drew material, techniques, and philosophical direction in ways that would help steer the course of American writing.mehr
