| Summary |
"The Book Review Digest, v. 16, 1920: Sixteenth Annual Accumulation" edited by Mary Katharine Reely and Pauline H. Rich is a compilation of literary reviews written in the early 20th century. This volume provides summaries and critical assessments of various books published in 1920, alongside additional resources for librarians and readers alike. The book serves as an annual reference guide, showcasing a diverse range of genres and topics in literature from that year. At the start of the compilation, the opening sections provide acknowledgments, listing the editorial staff and the publications contributing to the digest. It highlights notable literary trends of the time, such as a burgeoning emphasis on female authors and the depiction of American life, particularly in novels set in the Midwest and those reflecting the post-war societal shifts. The beginning also teases some of the year’s most reviewed books, including works by prominent authors like Keynes and Wells, setting the stage for readers to explore the critical landscape of the literary world in 1920.
