As the author of The Women of Brewster Place, Linden Hills, Mama
Day, and Bailey's Cafe, Gloria Naylor is widely respected as one of
the most important contemporary African American women writers.
This volume provides comprehensive coverage of the critical
response to her works. The book is divided into sections devoted to
each of Naylor's novels. Within each section, seminal articles and
book chapters comment on her writing. Special attention is given to
African American and feminist perspectives on her canon. In
addition, many of the essays discuss the relationship of Naylor's
novels to the works of classical authors such as Chaucer, Dante,
and Shakespeare, and to significant modern writers; thus, the
volume charts her sources and influence. While some of the essays
have appeared previously and are among the most important responses
to her writings, the book also includes several original pieces. An
exclusive interview with Naylor, an insightful introduction, and a
substantial bibliography are special features of this reference
work. A balance of new and previously published material provides a
thoughtful overview of the reception of her works. A thorough
introductory essay discusses Naylor's place in American literature
and the themes she treats throughout her novels. A chronology
summarizes the principal events in her life and career, and a
substantial bibliography lists works for further reading. A special
feature is an exclusive interview with Naylor, in which she
discusses such topics as the role of the politics of gender in her
writings, her treatment of women, the relationship between art and
morality, her views on race relations, her thoughts on the future
of literature and on her most recent projects, and the manner in
which she works and writes.
