Ralph Ellison's classic 1952 novel Invisible Man is one of the most
important and controversial novels in the American canon and
remains widely read and studied. This Companion provides an
introduction to this influential and significant novelist and
critic and to his masterpiece. It features essays by leading
scholars, a chronology and a guide to further reading. The essays
reveal alternative dimensions of Ellison's art radiating out from
Invisible Man into other domains - technology, political theory,
law, photography, music, religion - and recover the compelling
urgency and relevance of Ellison's political and artistic vision.
Since Ellison's death his published oeuvre has been expanded by
several major volumes - his collected essays, the fragment of a
novel, Juneteenth (1999), letters and short stories - examined here
in the context of his life and work. Students and scholars of
Ellison and of American and African-American literature will find
this an invaluable and accessible guide.
