The Canon and Modern Fiction

(Bibliography)


Original Query:

From: jmcadam@unix.cc.emory.edu "J. Ellis McAdams"
Subject: 20th Century American Novel and the Canon

I'm posting this for a friend who will be teaching an undergraduate course on the American (U.S.) novel this fall. She is looking for essays about the canon and modern American fiction.
