This is a collection of original essays on Philip Roth offering
contemporary critical readings and assessments of recent texts.
Philip Roth has without doubt been one of the most important
writers of fiction in the United States during the latter part of
the twentieth century. "Philip Roth" collects new essays by noted
Roth scholars on three essential novels appearing in recent years,
"American Pastoral" (1997), "The Human Stain" (2000), and "The Plot
Against America" (2004). The volume illuminates Roth's multilayered
perceptions of twentieth-century America as a place, a culture, and
an idea that shapes its inhabitants in profound ways. Focusing on
such topics as ethnicity, gender, race, the family, trauma,
history, and narrative form, the essays collected here offer fresh
readings of Roth's penetrating explorations of American selfhood.
The contributors probe this American Jewish writer's insights into
the paradoxes of freedom and self-determination, the politics of
identity, especially as defined by racial or ethnic affiliation,
and the possibilities available for self-definition and
transformation within the context of American history and culture.
This series offers up-to-date guides to the recent work of major
contemporary North American authors. Written by leading scholars in
the field, each book presents a range of original interpretations
of three key texts published since 1990, showing how the same novel
may be interpreted in a number of different ways. These
informative, accessible volumes will appeal to advanced
undergraduate and postgraduate students, facilitating discussion
and supporting close analysis of the most important contemporary
American and Canadian fiction.
