This particular book from Bluewood Publishing 100 series is an excellent resource for authors and well as an excellent guide for placing authors in historical contexts. This book is for both the history buff and a simply quizzical individual.
This is not a fair selection. It has far too many American writers. It has writers mostly the most recent American ones who have no major standing in world - literature. It is even unfair to the best American writers of this time, and has neither Bellow nor Updike. And certainly it ignores many of the giants of world- literature even in the past century.
