Though he was a recipient of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel
Prize for Literature, American novelist John Steinbeck (1902--1968)
has frequently been censored. Even in the twenty-first century,
nearly ninety years after his work first appeared in print,
Steinbeck's novels, stories, and plays still generate controversy:
his 1937 book Of Mice and Men was banned in some Mississippi
schools in 2002, and as recently as 2009, he made the American
Library Association's annual list of most frequently challenged
authors. A Political Companion to John Steinbeck examines the most
contentious political aspects of the author's body of work, from
his early exploration of social justice and political authority
during the Great Depression to his later positions regarding
domestic and international threats to American policies. Featuring
contemporaneous and present-day interpretations of his novels and
essays by historians, literary scholars, and political theorists,
this book covers the spectrum of Steinbeck's writing, exploring
everything from his place in American political culture to his
seeming betrayal of his leftist principles in later years.
