Twentieth Century Authors

A Biographical Dictionary of Modern Literature. Complete in One Volume with 1850 Biographies and 1700 Portraits

"This work. aims to provide a foundation-volume of authentic biographical information on the writers of this century, of all nations, whose books are familiar to readers of English. No attempt has been made to include foreign authors on the basis of their reputation in their native lands or tongues: the criterion, in general, has been the degree of acceptance of their translated works in the United States and England.Primary emphasis has been on professional men and women of letters whose vocation is the writing of books of fiction, poetry, history, biography, criticism, etc. .The sketches range, in assigned length, from 300 to 1500 words, roughly in proportion to the importance of the subject, but frequently influenced by extraneous considerations, such as term of career and amount of available data."
