Scholars have long considered Joseph Benson's classic commentary on
the Book of Revelation as definitive. The brilliant Methodist
scholar dissects each chapter and verse in a dazzling analysis that
deconstructs the riddles, symbols and endless layers of the most
mysterious and popular book in the Bible.
Any future biographical work on Richard Wright will find this
bibliography a necessity; academic or public libraries supporting a
program of black culture will find it invaluable; and it belongs in
any library supporting American literature studies. Richard Wright
has truly been well served. Choice The most comprehensive
bibliography ever compiled for an American writer, this book
contains 13,117 annotated items pertaining to Richard Wright. It
includes almost all published mentions of the author or his work in
every language in which those mentions appear. Sources listed
include books, articles, reviews, notes, news items, publishers'
catalogs, promotional materials, book jackets, dissertations and
theses, encyclopedias, biographical dictionaries, handbooks and
study guides, library reports, best seller charts, the Index
Translationum, playbills and advertisements, editorials, radio
transcripts, and published letters and interviews. The bibliography
is arranged chronologically by year. Each entry includes
bibliographical information, an annotation by the authors, and
information about all reprintings, partial or full. The index is
unusually complete and contains the titles of Wright's works, real
and fictional characters in the works, entries relating to
significant places and events in the author's life, important
literary terminology, and much additional information.
The theme of the `body and soul' relationship in medieval texts and
modern reworkings. The theme of the body-and-soul relationship in
medieval texts and in modern reworkings of medieval matter is
explored in the articles here, specifically the representation of
the body in romance; the relevance of bawdy tales to the cultural
experience of authors and readers in the middle ages; the function
of despair, or melancholy, in medieval and Renaissance literature;
and the political significance of late medieval representations of
`bodies' in the chroniclers' accounts of the Rising and in Gower's
poems. Two articles are devoted to modern retellings of medieval
themes: John Foxe's Acts and Monuments, seen in relation to the
traditional acta martyrum, and the medieval revival in Tory Britain
exemplified in Douglas Oliver's The Infant and the Pearl.
