SynopsisThe first student guide to Morrison's work to discuss her entire career as a writer, critic, editor and teacher., Nobel laureate Toni Morrison is one of the most widely studied of contemporary American authors. This comprehensive and accessible 2007 Companion, featuring a chronology and guide to further reading, was the first guide to her work to discuss her entire career as a writer, critic, editor and teacher., Nobel laureate Toni Morrison is one of the most widely studied of contemporary American authors. Her novels, particularly Beloved, have had a dramatic impact on the American canon and attracted considerable critical commentary. This 2007 Companion introduces and examines her oeuvre as a whole, the first evaluation to include not only her famous novels, but also her other literary works (short story, drama, musical, and opera), her social and literary criticism, and her career as an editor and teacher. Innovative contributions from internationally recognized critics and academics discuss Morrison's themes, narrative techniques, language and political philosophy, and explain the importance of her work to American studies and world literature. This comprehensive and accessible approach, together with a chronology and guide to further reading, makes this an essential book for students and scholars of African American literature.
