The Bloomsbury Handbook to Philip Roth
About this book
The Bloomsbury Handbook to Philip Roth provides a comprehensive, must-have survey of interdisciplinary scholarship on one of the major American novelists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The Bloomsbury Handbook to Philip Roth presents state-of-the-art scholarship on new research methods, current debates, and future directions in Philip Roth studies. It illuminates how Roth, one of the most influential American writers of the 20th and 21st centuries, not only reflected American history and culture in his important novels but uncannily anticipated our American future.
Divided into six main sections, this Handbook considers such topics:
- The full range of Roth's writing, from his novels and short stories to essays and life writing
- Major interdisciplinary scholarly perspectives across literary studies, politics, gender studies, critical race theory, and ecocriticism
- Roth's literary legacy across contemporary fiction, Jewish literature, the arts, and culture studies
- Key contexts including American political movements since the 1950s, the American Jewish experience, and intertextual relationships
Uniting scholars and artists who have built the field of Philip Roth studies from the ground up along with emergent scholars from around the world, this Handbook includes chapter summaries, study questions, and an author biography and timeline that includes key dates in Roth's life and publication history. It also contains a bibliography of secondary sources for further reading as well as an overview of film and television adaptations.
