Did Paul Heyse and Joyce Carol Oates live during the same time?
Joyce Carol Oates Joyce Carol Oates (born June 16, 1938) is an American writer. Oates published her first book in 1963 and has since published over 40 novels, as well as a number of plays and novellas, and many volumes of short stories, poetry, and nonfiction. She has won many awards for her writing, including the National Book Award, for her novel "them" (1969), two O. Henry Awards, and the National Humanities Medal. Her novels "Black Water" (1992), "What I Lived For" (1994), "Blonde" (2000), and short story collections "The Wheel of Love" (1970) and "Lovely, Dark, Deep: Stories" (2014) were each finalists for the Pulitzer Prize.
James Agate James Evershed Agate (9 September 1877 – 6 June 1947) was an English diarist and one of Britain's most influential theatre critics between the two world wars. He found his way into journalism in his late twenties, on the staff of "The Manchester Guardian" (1907–14) and as a drama critic for "The Saturday Review" (1921–23), and "The Sunday Times" (1923–47). He also reviewed drama for the BBC (1925–32). The nine volumes of Agate's diaries and letters, entitled "Ego", record the British theatre of his era and his non-theatrical interests, including sports, social gossip and his private preoccupations with his health and precarious finances. He also wrote film and literary criticism for London newspapers, published three novels, translated a play that was staged in London, albeit briefly, and regularly brought out collections of his theatre essays and reviews.
