Beyond Boundaries [EPUB ebook] 
Rereading John Steinbeck

Ajutor

The result of a worldwide effort to assess both the current state of critical understanding of John Steinbeck s works and the extent of his cultural influence As a writer who, beginning in the 1930s, illuminated the lives of ordinary people, Steinbeck came to be the conscience of America. He witnessed and recorded with clarity much of the political and social upheaval of the 20th century: The Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and Vietnam. Yet his place in the literary canon of American literature has been much debated and often dismissed by academics. Beyond Boundaries argues persuasively for Steinbeck’s relevance, offering a fuller, more nuanced and international appreciation of the popular Nobel laureate and his works.Topics treated in these wide-ranging essays include the historical and literary contexts and the artistic influence of the eminent novelist; the reception and translation of Steinbeck works outside the United States; Steinbeck s worldview, his social vision, and his treatment of poverty, of self, and of patriotism; influence on Native American writers; the centrality of the archetypal feminine throughout his fiction; and the author’s lifelong interest in science and philosophy. International in scope, this timely study reevaluates the enduring and evolving legacy of one of America’s most significant writers.
