"Beloved" won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1987, which led up
to Toni Morrison's winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993
and is the most-often taught novel by Morrison. It is a rich text,
as well as a difficult one, in need of a student guide that can
help undergraduates not only to understand the story but to develop
sophisticated skills of critical analysis. Students who grapple
successfully with "Beloved's" characters will also gain valuable
insight into the major themes of the novel, Morrison's intricate
narrative strategies, African American history and culture, and
theories useful for interpreting literature.Character Studies aims
to promote sophisticated literary analysis through the concept of
character. It demonstrates the necessity of linking character
analysis to texts' themes, issues and ideas, and encourages
students to embrace the complexity of literary characters and the
texts in which they appear. The series thus fosters close critical
reading and evidence-based discussion, as well as an engagement
with historical context, and with literary criticism and theory.
