Product Description:
The goal of Webster’s Online Dictionary is to give all people of the world free access to a complete mapping of all known words to and from all written languages. In fulfillment of this goal, Webster’s Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org) also offers as much information as possible for each word, including definitions, translations, images, trade name usage, quotations, and encyclopedic knowledge. The proceeds generated by the sale of this Belarusan–English thesaurus dictionary as well as other books extracted from the project will be used to augment the contents of the Webster’s Online Dictionary.

American Writers is a book of vast scope, much like America itself. Within these pages one will find the early Puritan visionaries, leaders of the American Renaissance, realists and naturalists, the Lost Generation, the modernists, the Fugitives and agrarians, the Beats, the Black Mountain writers, postmodernists, and more. What brings them all together is the literary merit of their writing. Whether novelists, short story writers, poets, dramatists, essayists, or nonfiction writers, they are all judged by history and/or their contemporaries to be writers whose work has helped to create “American literature.”
American Writers includes all the major literary genres to provide biographical profiles of writers from colonial times to the present and from all major literary movements.
