The most substantial collection of critical essays on Morrison to
appear since her death in mid-2019, this book contains previously
unpublished essays which both acknowledge the universal
significance of her writing even as they map new directions.
Essayists include pre-eminent Morrison scholars, as well as
scholars who work in cultural criticism, African American letters,
American modernism, and women's writing. The book includes work on
Morrison as a public intellectual; work which places Morrison's
writing within today's currents of contemporary fiction; work which
draws together Morrison's "trilogy" of Beloved, Jazz, and Paradise
alongside Dos Passos' USA trilogy; work which links Morrison to
such Black Atlantic artists as Lubaina Himid and others as well as
work which offers a reading of "influence" that goes both
directions between Morrison and Faulkner. Another cluster of essays
treats seldom-discussed works by Morrison, including an essay on
Morrison as writer of children's books and as speaker for
children's education. In addition, a "Teaching Morrison" section is
designed to help teachers and critics who teach Morrison in
undergraduate classes. The Bloomsbury Handbook to Toni Morrison is
wide-ranging, provocative, and satisfying; a fitting tribute to one
of the greatest American novelists.
