Cecily Swanson argues that“modernism's Gurdjieff craze in fact played a surprising role in the development of an overlooked canon of popular autobiographies:Muriel Draper's memoir,Music at Midnight;Margaret Anderson's memoir,My Thirty Years'War;and Kathryn Hulme's autobiographical novel,We Lived As Children.”Swanson reads Draper,Anderson,and Hulme because they wrote as esotericists,while she divorces the memoirs from any overt esoteric influences,contents,or *** is no need to search further for the source of the mode of the popular autobiographies by Anderson and Draper than what of Loos's novel comes through the Peggy Hopkins Joyce/Zora Neale Hurston ***,Men,and Me appears near the commencement of a line of esoteric memoirs that becomes visible in the best-selling works by Draper and Anderson but then continues expansively.

20世纪30年代的非裔美国诗歌与历史上的记载迥异。当时大量的精力投入到建构制度化的黑人文艺复兴,从而给整个30年代留下了阴影,于是大萧条时期被归入黑人文艺复兴时期。与此同时,以兰斯顿·休斯和斯特林·A·布朗为代表的个人崇拜也影响了人们对这一时期诗歌的评价。文论批评研究中对这十年很难定位,因此对该时期的评论之声也日渐减弱。普遍的看法认为这一时期没有产生非裔美国文学,因为非裔美国诗人不屑于以民间的形式创作诗歌。这个时期非裔美国诗歌中十四行诗的成就一直未得到承认。20世纪60年代后,在评价这一时期诗歌时,由于政治考量超越了审美成为决定因素,大批在杂志和诗歌选集上发表的诗歌作品未被考虑在内。
