Jesmyn Ward (eBook, PDF)

New Critical Essays

Redaktion: Harrison, Sheri-Marie; Torres-Quevedo, Maria Elena; Keeble, Arin

Beschreibung

This collection of essays provides a thorough and probing account of an author who is quickly becoming one of the most read, studied and taught contemporary writers, but whose work remains underrepresented in scholarship. It is broad and ambitious in scope, mirroring the richness of Ward's oeuvre, and it brings together a diverse and dynamic range of approaches that reflect the scholarly conversations in which Ward is embedded.
