From the supplier: American literature has outgrown its 19th century paradigm. In the 19th century, the leading American writers came from the same cultural, religious and national background. However, writers in the 20th century, though they live and write 'in the same place,' i.e., America, have different backgrounds in terms of religion, culture, language and national origin. Representative writers include Gertrude Stein, William Carlos Williams, and Mina Loy.
