Covering the Nobel Prize-winning author's novels (up to \u003ci\u003eHome\u003c\/i\u003e), as well as her essays, dramatic works and short stories, this book situates Morrison's writings within both African-American and American writing traditions and examines them in terms of her continuous dialogue with the politics, philosophy and literary forms of these traditions. \u003ci\u003eToni Morrison and Literary Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive analysis of Morrison's entire oeuvre, from her early interrogation of Black Power to her engagement with fin de si cle postcolonial critiques of nationalism and twenty-first century considerations of ecology. Justine Baillie goes on to argue that Morrison's aesthetic should be understood in relation to the historical, political and cultural contexts in which it, and the African-American and American literary traditions upon which she draws, have been created and developed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Baillie, Justine Jenny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441183101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Justine Jenny Baillie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32748816007243,"sku":"9781441183101","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_d4b694b3-e08f-4fe5-8eb8-e000fe1e128c.jpg?v=1597774157","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/toni-morrison-and-literary-tradition-the-invention-of-an-aesthetic-9781441183101","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
