This is the second edition of the study of Ayn Rand's first novel,
which was published in 1936--ten years after she left Soviet
Russia, and during America's Red Decade. Essays deal with
historical, literary and philosophical themes. Essays on the
history of We the Living cover: the drafts of the novel; the
historical accuracy of its setting and the extent to which the
novel is autobiographical; and, Rand's struggles with a hostile
culture first to publish We the Living, and then to adapt it.
Essays providing literary analyses include a comparison of We the
Living and the fiction of Victor Hugo (Rand's favorite writer).
Also covered are We the Living's plot, theme, characterization and
style--what Rand, in her writings on literary aesthetics,
considered the four essential attributes of a novel. The theme of
We the Living is the individual against the state, and the sanctity
of human life. These issues are dealt with in detail, especially in
the essays which focus on philosophical topics. A number of essays
in this collection make extensive use of previously unpublished
material from the Ayn Rand Archives.
