Reviews
'This selection of essays maintains the high standard of content and presentation of other companions in this series. It provides an up-to-date survey of the field in an approachable and manageably-sized volume, and as such would be an important addition [to] university libraries serving American studies, literature or similar departments, as well as public libraries.' Linda Kemp, Reference Reviews, "No university or college library would be complete without the titles in Cambridge's various 'companion' series. Even among the many fine offerings in the 'Cambridge Companions to Literature' series, this contribution stands out for its breadth of coverage and depth of analysis." -Choice

Synopsis
Each generation revises literary history and this is nowhere more evident than in the post-Second World War period. This 2011 Companion offers a comprehensive, authoritative and accessible overview of the diversity of American fiction since the Second World War. Essays by nineteen distinguished scholars provide critical insights into the significant genres, historical contexts, cultural diversity and major authors during a period of enormous American global political and cultural power. This power is overshadowed, nevertheless, by national anxieties growing out of events ranging from the Civil Rights Movement to the rise of feminism; from the Cold War and its fear of Communism and nuclear warfare to the Age of Terror and its different yet related fears of the 'Other'. American fiction since 1945 has faithfully chronicled these anxieties. An essential reference guide, this Companion provides a chronology of the period, as well as guides to further reading., This essential 2011 reference guide offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of the diversity of American fiction since the Second World War. There are chapters on the period's significant genres, historical contexts, cultural diversity and major authors: Ralph Ellison, Flannery O'Connor, Thomas Pynchon, Toni Morrison and Don DeLillo., Each generation revises literary history and this is nowhere more evident than in the post-Second World War period.
