ABSTRACT
Lawrence (1885–1930), the English novelist, had offered his original and insightful impressions of America's literary past in Studies in Classic American Literature (1923). This is an extract from a longer review of several contemporary works of American fiction including Carl Van Vechten's Nigger Heaven, Walter White's Flight, and Hemingway's In Our Time. Lawrence rated Dos Passos's novel highest with Hemingway's a close second.
