"This superb collection of hitherto unpublished essays presents the Invisible Man in various perspectives as both a fully embodied expression of Modernism and as a unique appropriation of black experience. An introduction sets the background for five essays, each suggestive, all complementing in their approaches, all implying the reinvention of the Modern under the pressure of the black folk past." Journal of Modern Literature
Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, a story told by a single Afro-American voice, encompasses much of the American scene and character. This collection of critical essays, bringing together the best of recent scholarship, provides students with a useful introduction to this major novel.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Published less than fifty years ago, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man shares with older classic works the odd quality of seeming to have been in place much longer. It is a novel that encompasses much of the American scene and character: though told by a single Afro-American voice and set in the contemporary South and then in modern New York City, its references are to the First World War, to Reconstruction, to the Civil War and slavery, to the founding of the American republic, to Columbus, and to the country's frontier past. In his introduction to this volume Robert O'Meally discusses Ellison's fictional strategies for reaching a wide audience while remaining true to his own artistic vision and voice. Then each of five critical essays explores a different aspect of this capacious novel. One looks at the novel's protagonist as an embattled artist-in-training: another focuses on the novel's political and philosophical backgrounds; a third discusses the style and meaning of the nameless narrator's speeches; a fourth examines the novel's modernism in light of its references to jazz and anthropology: and the final essay considers Invisible Man as a kind of war novel. Written in an accessible style, these essays represent the best of recent scholarship and provide students with a useful introduction to this major novel. Codice articolo 00102913652
