"Since the 1920's Peter Blume, who is in his eighty-first year, has steered his own very individual course to produce a small but important body of work distinguished by its technical virtuosity, vivid imagery, and narrative power. A superb draftsman, Blume deftly manipulates scale, perspective, and color to provoke profound visual and psychological responses in precisely ordered compositions that celebrate the survival and regeneration of man and nature."--BOOK JACKET.

Praise for the earlier edition: "Students of modern American literature have for some years turned to Fifteen Modern American Authors (1969) as an indispensable guide to significant scholarship and criticism about twentieth-century American writers. In its new form--Sixteenth Modern American Authors--it will continue to be indispensable. If it is not a desk-book for all Americanists, it is a book to be kept in the forefront of the bibliographical compartment of their brains."--American Studies
