| 520 | _a"Contemporary American Novelists (1900-1920)" by Carl Van Doren is a critical examination of the development of the American novel during the early 20th century, written in the early 1920s. The book surveys notable writers and trends, focusing on how various novelists have responded to the prevailing literary movements, particularly naturalism. Van Doren discusses the evolution of character types and thematic concerns among these authors, reflecting on societal influences and the changing landscape of American literature. The beginning of this critical work sets the stage for an exploration of literary styles and movements that have shaped American fiction. Van Doren contrasts the remnants of "local color" writing with the emerging naturalism that has influenced authors such as Hamlin Garland and Upton Sinclair, among others. He introduces the notion that earlier literary conventions have become inadequate in the face of shifting social realities, leading writers to grapple more fiercely with the truths of human experience. Through discussions of prominent writers and their works, Van Doren aims to illuminate the complexities of American literary progress during a period marked by both innovation and continuity.
