Description and Table of Contents
Description
John Steinbeck's popular novel, "The Grapes of Wrath" brought the sufferings of the 1930s Depression into the living rooms of America. A strong sense of social justice motivated Steinbeck to write his many novels and screenplays, which give a dignity to the struggle of the poor for survival. This book draws on his letters and fiction to tell the story of his life, tracing the development of his commitment to writing. A careful study of "The Grapes of Wrath" offers insights into his narrative methods and helps to place his work within the context of 20th century American fiction.
