Ralph Ellison and the Politics of the Novel

Beschreibung

In this engaging study, H. William Rice illuminates the mystery that is Ralph Ellison: the author of one complex, important novel who failed to complete his second; a black intellectual who remained notably reticent on political issues during the desegregation of his native South. Rice guides his reader to a greater understanding of Ralph Ellison, his oeuvre, and the American novel.

H. William Rice is Professor of English and Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Shorter College. He is the author of Toni Morrison and the American Tradition: A Rhetorical Reading (1996).
