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 20.th. century writers drew material, techniques, and philosophical direction in ways that would help steer the course of American writing.. | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | 关键词 | Federal Writers’ Project; Great Depression; Ralph Ellison; Postwar; American Literature | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-53777-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-85241-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-53777-1Series ISSN 2634-579X Series E-ISSN 2634-5803 | issn_series | 2634-579X | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
