How did the literature of America change from the 1920s to 1960s?

American Literature really came into its own after WWI. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Faulkner, and O'Neill dominated the period, and other authors joined them after WWII. Miller and Williams dominated the drama, along with revivals of O'Neill. African American authors such as Baldwin and Wright brought race to the front of the national conscience and consciousness, opening the door for Feminist writers in the '70s.
