John P. Marquand (University of Minnesota Pamphlets on American Writers No.46) by C. Hugh Holman
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.08mb
Overview: JOHN PHILLIPS MARQUAND was for almost forty years a highly remunerated writer of short stories and serials for the masscirculation magazines. But, although much of his career was spent as a dependable producer of a kind of fiction which the protagonist of Wickford Point called “that half-world of the imagination governed by editorial fact,” he began in 1937 publishing distinguished novels of manners, in which he gave firm, skillful, accurate, and ironic representations of the upper-class and uppermiddle-class social world. In 1949 he declared, “I would like, before I’m through, to have a series of novels which would give a picture of a segment of America during the past fifty years.” In his nine novels of manners he succeeded to a degree that makes him an important – although often neglected – figure in contemporary American fiction.
