Taking a thematic approach, this new companion provides an
interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, and international study of
American literary journalism. From the work of Frederick Douglass
and Walt Whitman to that of Joan Didion and Dorothy Parker,
literary journalism is a genre that both reveals and shapes
American history and identity. This volume not only calls attention
to literary journalism as a distinctive genre but also provides a
critical foundation for future scholarship. It brings together
cutting-edge research from literary journalism scholars, examining
historical perspectives; themes, venues, and genres across time;
theoretical approaches and disciplinary intersections; and new
directions for scholarly inquiry. Provoking reconsideration and
inquiry, while providing new historical interpretations, this
companion recognizes, interacts with, and honors the tradition and
legacies of American literary journalism scholarship. Engaging the
work of disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, African
American studies, gender studies, visual studies, media studies,
and American studies, in addition to journalism and literary
studies, this book is perfect for students and scholars of those
disciplines.
