Ichiro Takayoshi is Assistant Professor of English at Tufts University. His articles on modern US literature have appeared in academic journals such as Post45 and Representations. Takayoshi has also translated into Japanese the works of Don DeLillo, David Mitchell and Richard Powers.'… Takayoshi has done us a service in detailing the rhetorical history of a heretofore murky yet significant period in American literary expression.' George Hutchinson, The Review of English Studies
Takayoshi does an impressive job situating the work of several U.S. writers in the context of rapidly changing international events. Moreover, as a project that locates a diverse group of U.S. writers in a global context, Takayoshi's book is an exemplary model of transnational U.S. Scholarship. Scholars of U.S. intellectual and literary history will find much to appreciate in its pages.' Holly Allen, The American Historical Review
'American Writers and the Approach of World War II is a masterful literary history: it manages to be comprehensive without sacrificing depth and encyclopedic without descending into mere accumulation.' James Dawes, American Literature
