- W77106517 abstract "... Once upon a time, and a not so pretty time it was, very few respectable members of scholarly establishment would utter a mum? bling word about a writer who was still up and walking about among living. True, an F. O. Matthiessen or a Joseph Warren Beach, critics whose reputations were already secure, might occasionally venture into territory of contemporary letters; but even they tended to concentrate on Eliots, Hemingways, older and better known literary figures. And so, when John W. Aldridge's After Lost Generation was published in 1951, those of us who were then graduate students and young instructors were understandably excited. Here at last was a book by a critic of our generation about writers of our generation, a book daring enough to deal seriously with such Johnny-Come-Latelies as Norman Mailer, Truman Capote, and Paul Bowles, a book which seemed to say that, despite graduate-school scholarship, both literature and criticism were alive and well and living in America. But in words of current campus darling, the times they are a-changing, and After Lost Generation no longer seems either daring or unusual. It is not simply because Mailer, Capote, et. al., are now famous and (like ourselves) middle-aged. Subtitled A Critical Study of Writers of Two Wars, Aldridge's book did spend, after all, some eighty pages on Hemingway, Dos Passos, and Fitzgerald, spreading its comments on ten or twelve younger novelists over remaining two-thirds of book. Today, when so many colleges have a course in The Post-Modern American Novel, when dissertations on contemporary writers are commonplace, and when books on contemporary fiction roll off presses with astonishing regularity, After Lost Generation seems positively old-fashioned. Granted, many of these books?Ihab Hassan's Radical Innocence is probably best?also range fairly widely over current fictional scene. If one excepts volumes in Twayne's United States Authors' Series and a scattering of similar endeavors, studies devoted entirely to single contemporary American novelists have largely been restricted to" @default.
