readable reference to modern British authors

This is the third volume in the Modern British Literature set. This volume covers some of the major and minor twentieth-century British authors, including well-knowns such as George Bernard Shaw, Muriel Spark, Lytton Strachey, P.G. Wodehouse, and Virginia Woolf, plus over 100 others, major and minor.The article on each author usually runs from one to three pages and is comprised of excerpts from books, periodicals, and newspapers, British and American. The writing is consistently crisp and has been chosen to reveal different perspectives on the author. Although the emphasis is on the "qualities" of each writer and assessing their work, there are many tidbits about the writers' bio's and personality quirks.For use as a reference, a bibliography of each author is included in a separate section, as well as a cross-reference index (between authors) and an index to critics.Recommended, whether you choose to dip into it a page at a time, or for use as a reference, or as a tool to find unfamiliar British authors that you may wish to discover for yourself.
