Excerpt from Contemporary Novels and Novelists: A List of References to Biographical and Critical MaterialThis list of references has been compiled to meet the needs of stu dents of the Missouri School of Mines who are pursuing course English 421, The Contemporary Novel.The list is by no means intended as a selection of the best, the standard, or even the representative writers or novels of recent years. Inclusions and omissions have been based solely on class room needs and purposes, to illustrate tendencies and types, either good or other wise. On this basis several authors are given place who would not be included in a list of the best novelists, and some writers and their works are omitted who would find place in such a list. Simi larly, there are included several authors who are not contemporary but whose work forms a convenient starting point for the purposes of this course. Translations from foreign literatures are omitted.The references are based on the resources of the library of the Missouri School of Mines, the intention being not to refer the student to material which is not available in this library. References are not given to encyclopedia articles, nor to histories of English or American literature.Where the number of references about an author is great enough to make it desirable, the items have been grouped in the following order: books and parts of books, biography, criticism, local color, or items about the region or people of whom the novelist wrote.The compiler wishes to record his gratitude to Dr. J. W. Barley, Professor of English, for his cordial assistance and for many helpful suggestions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
