Employs contemporary and traditional readings of representative works of prose, poetry, and drama to establish the ongoing significance of these works to the American literary canon
Recovered Legacies: Authority and Identity in Early Asian American Literature employs contemporary and traditional readings of representative works in prose, poetry, and drama to suggest new ways of understanding and appreciating the critically fertile but under-examined body of Asian American writing from the late 1800s to the early 1960s. The essays in this volume engage these works -- in different genres, from different periods, and by authors of different ethnicities -- with a strong awareness of historical context and a keen sensitivity to literary form. The resulting collection helps to recover the rich and diverse literary heritage of Asian America and argues persuasively for the significance of these works to the American literary canon.
"much-needed. This critical collection is particularly rewarding for its historical focus. Recommended." Choice
"The editors have cagily combined groundbreaking scholarship on literary texts that no one knows about, with useful, historically grounded criticism of literary texts that established scholars and those interested in learning about Asian American literature are likely to study. The prose is lucid and accessible, the readings are conversant both with Asian American and American cultural history and with relevant Asian American literary scholarship, and therefore the book should be useful not only to scholars but to teachers and students, as the editors indicate was their goal." Patty Chu, GWU
