About this title

Reviews

Grade 7 Up–Engaging and informative accounts of two pillars of 20th-century American literature. Both books offer biographical information alongside and within the context of discussions of many of their well-known literary works. Titles such as Miller's Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, and Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea and The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber are closely examined on both an explanatory and critical level. Chapter notes, further reading, and indexes are appended. Students will gain both personal and critical information about these two men and their works. Photos are scant, but the very accessible format and the solid information make these books useful to students, and the engaging style should interest casual readers.–Carol Fazioli, Gwynedd-Mercy College, Gwynedd Valley, PA
