Though one of the most significant American writers of the 20th
century, Saul Bellow has continually elicited conflicting responses
from critics. Some critics have seen him as America's greatest
contemporary writer, while others have discounted him as
discouragingly redundant. Not even his novel Herzog, generally
considered his worthiest achievement, has gone unchallenged. The
expansion of critical theory in the last decade has added to the
controversy over Bellow's works. The reviews and essays gathered in
this volume illustrate the many disparate critical responses and
approaches to Saul Bellow over the last 50 years, from the late
1940s into the 1990s. Representative samples of criticism from the
earliest reviews to the most recent assessments trace the different
critical phases and approaches to Bellow's work over time. The
selections included also reflect larger trends in literary
criticism over the last half century and chart the history of the
critical community's response to Bellow. The selections are
arranged chronologically in clusters devoted to particular works.
