Twentieth-Century Attitudes Literary Powers In Uncertain Times

"Many of the pieces deal as much with the lives of writers as with their work, and Allen's tart dissection of their characters is notably clearheaded as well as highly entertaining....Her appraisals of their work are both shrewd and generous; her accounts of their lives, which read like skillfully compressed novels, are perhaps even better....TWENTIETH-CENTURY ATTITUDES is filled with the most high-level, erudite gossip imaginable--gossip..thoroughly enjoyable to anyone with an interest in literature...."Allen, Brooke is the author of 'Twentieth-Century Attitudes Literary Powers In Uncertain Times', published 2004 under ISBN 9781566635974 and ISBN 1566635977.
