The Twayne Authors Series is the premier literary reference resource
series
comprising:
- Twayne's U.S. Authors
- Twayne's English Authors
- Twayne's World Authors
Each of these individual titles provides literary
criticism for approximately 200
authors, bringing the total number of authors
covered in the Series to nearly 600.
Each author selected for coverage is tied to the
high school and college curriculum.
The Twayne Authors Series offers criticism by
scholars on hundreds of years of
literature--from Aristophanes to Bharati
Mukherjee. It provides critical introductions
to the lives and works of writers, to the history
and influence of literary movements,
or the development of literary genres. Primarily
devoted to critical interpretation and
discussion of authors' works, these studies take
account of major literary trends and
important contributions to scholarship and
criticism, and provide new critical insights
and original points of view. Each treatment of an
author averages from 175 to 200
pages in length.
