Description:... This four-volume set provides detailed geographical and bibliographical information on 1000 20th-century authors who are most often studied in college and high school - from Virginia Woolf to Alice Walker, J.R.R.

The remaining sketches cover nonfiction writers, journalists and others best known for their work in other fields.
