Description: "The first volume of the Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature's ambitiousset is to be followed by a second, which will be concerned with nonauthor entries (sites, centers,movements, themes, genres) and a third, a literary history of the Midwest. Volume one concentrateson the lives and writings of nearly 400 Midwestern writers defined very broadly (e.g., Frank LloydWright for his autobiography and architectural writings and Hugh Nissenson, who never lived in theMidwest but was influenced by Mark Twain in writing The Tree of Life, which received the 1986Ohioana Book Award for fiction). The introduction defines the Midwest, states the criteria forinclusion, and gives an overview of literary development in the Midwest and a chapter on the originsand development of Midwestern literature. Entries in the dictionary follow a standard format: theauthor's dates, a biography, an estimate of the author's significance, and bibliographies ofselected works and criticism. Entry length depends on the significance of the author (Saul Bellow,five pages, Andrew Blackbird, one and a half, Rita Dove, two), but all are generous. Many entriesinclude portraits. The appendix lists recipients of the Society's MidAmerica Award and gives therationale for each choice. A roster of the 117 contributors includes their qualifications andexperience. The book ends with a 95-page index of names and literary works. This book will finduse in every library, by users ranging from general readers to researchers." -R. P. Sasscer,Catholic University of America, Choice, December 2001
