Anderson, Ellen Glasgow, Julia Peterkin, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, James Stephens, Stark Young, Willa Cather as a Virginian, and Joyce's "Ulysses" which he finds "tiresome." Correspondence between Rouse and Foster discusses criticism of Willa Cather and Ellen Glasgow by David Daiches and John Edward Hardy and Rouse's own work on Glasgow.
