The approach is broadly chronological, and all of the major authors are thoroughly covered, but a diverse group of critics and scholars also take a variety of approaches to such topics as popular culture, realism, colonialism, discussions of lesbian and gay authors, romance, and modernism and postmodernism. A stimulating new take on many themes of current interest and importance. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
