Uneasy Alliance illuminates the recent search in literary studies
for a new interface between textual and contextual readings.
Written in tribute to G.A.M. Janssens, the twenty-one essays in the
volume exemplify a renewed awareness of the paradoxical nature of
literary texts both as works of literary art and as documents
embedded in and functioning within a writer's life and culture.
Together they offer fresh and often interdisciplinary perspectives
on twentieth-century American writers of more or less established
status (Henry James, Edna St. Vincent Millay, E.E. Cummings,
Vladimir Nabokov, Flannery O'Connor, Saul Bellow, Michael Ondaatje,
Toni Morrison and Sandra Cisneros) as well as on those who, for
reasons of fashion, politics, ideology, or gender, have been unduly
neglected (Booth Tarkington, Julia Peterkin, Robert Coates, Martha
Gellhorn, Isabella Gardner, Karl Shapiro, the young Jewish-American
writers, Julia Alvarez, and writers of popular crime and detective
fiction). Exploring the fruitful interactions and uneasy alliance
between literature and ethics, film, biography, gender studies,
popular culture, avant-garde art, urban studies, anthropology and
multicultural studies, together these essays testify to the ongoing
pertinence of an approach to literature that is undogmatic,
sensitive and sophisticated and that seeks to do justice to the
complex interweavings of literature, culture and biography in
twentieth-century American writing.
