Welcome to the Press portion of our web site. This section has been created to provide journalists with information
and resources for C-SPAN's 15-week series, American Writers II: The 20th Century.
- Starting March 31, 2002, American Writers II: The 20th Century invites experts to discuss the week's featured writer and his or her body of work. Historians and archivists discuss the writer's background and literary
significance, the time period the writer lived in or wrote about. The series also takes a look at the homes and historic sites important to the writer and his or her work.
- www.americanwriters.org. provides detailed information on each featured writer and information on C-SPAN's live program dedicated to the author. Schedules of upcoming American Writers II programming and a RealAudio/Video® archive of previously aired programming will also be included on the site.
