I find that unless I am reminded about these older authors I tend to forget about them. I watched a documentary on Stegner tonight and forgot how much I loved his fictional and historical works. I look forward to reading his works again in the coming months.

I think it takes the lituary community to help bring good works back to newer generations of readers who may not fully appreciate the writing of some of the authors you mentioned.
