Through a period’s historical antecedents and characteristics—political, cultural, religious, economic, and social—each chapter covers a specific period, theme, or genre.  \nIn addition to these six chapters, readers will find a useful timeline of drama and theatrical history, poetry and prose, and history; a glossary of terms (also identified by SMALL CAPITAL LETTERS throughout the text); a biographical glossary; suggestions for further reading; and an index. By helping readers explore literature in the context of human history, the editors hope to encourage readers to further explore the literary world.  \n1.

And the dream of success was inevitably linked to middle-class ideals of thrift, the Protestant work ethic, and self-reliant perseverance. After the Civil War, however, the rise of large-scale organizations made the individual’s role much more ambiguous.  \nIt has often been said that modern American li","cbCaitHxwqBF33wh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitHxwqBF33wh","pdf",826456,97,"English","# American Modernism\n## The Lost Generation\n## Modernism in the American Novel: Joyce, Dos Passos, and Faulkner\n## The Harlem Renaissance (1919–1929)\n## Modernism in Poetry and Drama\n## Literary Culture of the Moderns\n## Timeline\n## Glossary of Terms\n## Biographical Glossary\n## Further Reading\n## Index","[{\"question\":\"What scope does the series Backgrounds to American Literature cover?\",\"answer\":\"It explores about 500 years of American literature by examining the historical times when the literature developed, including political, cultural, religious, economic, and social antecedents.\"},{\"question\":\"How does American Modernism (1910–1945) frame the origins of modern American literature?\",\"answer\":\"It links modernism to key cultural and historical conditions and discusses early modern literary developments such as Dreiser’s Sister Carrie around the turn of the century.\"},{\"question\":\"What study supports are included beyond the main chapters?\",\"answer\":\"Readers receive a drama and theatrical timeline, a glossary of terms, a biographical glossary, suggestions for further reading, and an index.\"}]","American Modernism (1910-1945) - Backgrounds to American Literature | PDF",1789939166,149]
