American Modernism and Depression Documentary examines literary modernism in the U.S. through the lens of the Depression-era "documentary book," a hybrid genre that experiments with novel ways of combining photographic images with textual narratives. It thereby demonstrates often-neglected affinities between 1930s documentary expression and the broader tradition of interwar modernist art.
