Summary

This biography series explores the lives of some of the most talked-about literary figures of the past half-century. In a field that generally shuns popular appeal, these books focus on those writers who have been well received by critics and the general population alike.

• Each book features a foreword by a prominent scholar, or close friend and acquaintance of the writer that lends either a unique perspective or first-hand insight to the writer's life.
• Over 130 pages of biographical text allows for in-depth coverage of the writer's life, struggles, and accomplishments.
• Chronologies provide an at-a-glance understanding of important and influential events in each writer's life.
• Comprehensive bibliographies direct the reader to additional resources about the writer and his or her work. A hand selected list of Web sites directs the reader to the best and well researched sites available.
