The Cambridge Companion to American Civil Rights Literature brings
together leading scholars to examine the significant traditions,
genres, and themes of civil rights literature. While civil rights
scholarship has typically focused on documentary rather than
creative writing, and political rather than cultural history, this
Companion addresses the gap and provides university students with a
vast introduction to an impressive range of authors, including
Richard Wright, Lorraine Hansberry, Gwendolyn Brooks, James
Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, and Toni Morrison. Accessible to
undergraduates and academics alike, this Companion surveys the
critical landscape of a rapidly growing field and lays the
foundation for future studies.
Ever since Ezra Pound's exhortation to 'make it new',
experimentation has been a hallmark of contemporary literature.
Ranging from the modernists, through the Beats to postmodernism and
contemporary 'hyperfiction', this is a unique introduction to
experimental fiction. Creative exercises throughout the book help
students grapple with the many varieties of experimental fiction
for themselves, deepening their understanding of these many forms
and developing their own writing skills.In addition, the book
examines the historical contexts and major themes of 20th-century
experimental fiction and new directions for the novel offered by
writers such as David Shields and Zadie Smith. Making often
difficult works accessible for the first time reader and with
extensive further reading guides, "Experimental Fiction" is an
essential practical guidebook for students of creative writing and
contemporary fiction. Writers covered include: James Joyce,
Virginia Woolf, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, Ralph Ellison, Allen
Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, William Gibson, Italo Calvino, Jeanette
Winterson, Don Delillo, Caitlin Fisher, Geoff Ryeman, Xiaolu Guo,
Tom McCarthy, James Frey and David Mitchell.
