{"product_id":"bloomsbury-handbook-to-toni-morrison-9781350504905","title":"Bloomsbury Handbook to Toni Morrison","description":"The most substantial collection of critical essays on Morrison to appear since her death in mid-2019, this book contains previously unpublished essays which both acknowledge the universal significance of her writing even as they map new directions. Essayists include pre-eminent Morrison scholars, as well as scholars who work in cultural criticism, African American letters, American modernism, and women’s writing. \nThe book includes work on Morrison as a public intellectual; work which places Morrison’s writing within today’s currents of contemporary fiction; work which draws together Morrison’s “trilogy” of Beloved, Jazz, and Paradise alongside Dos Passos’ USA trilogy; work which links Morrison to such Black Atlantic artists as Lubaina Himid and others as well as work which offers a reading of “influence” that goes both directions between Morrison and Faulkner. Another cluster of essays treats seldom-discussed works by Morrison, including an essay on Morrison as writer of children’s books and as speaker for children’s education. In addition, a “Teaching Morrison” section is designed to help teachers and critics who teach Morrison in undergraduate classes. \nThe Bloomsbury Handbook to Toni Morrison is wide-ranging, provocative, and satisfying; a fitting tribute to one of the greatest American novelists.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50904530321696,"sku":"9781350504905","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781350504905.jpg?v=1785258322","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/bloomsbury-handbook-to-toni-morrison-9781350504905","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
