Reading Toni Morrison's 'Beloved', Paperback / softback Book

Reading Toni Morrison's 'Beloved' Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Toni Morrison's ground-breaking novel, 'Beloved', is one of the most successful novels of all time, selling millions of copies internationally and inspiring critical commentary from scholars of the highest distinction.

Its influence is such that it is studied by students of literature around the world and is often cited as one of the most significant books of modern times.

However, its popularity belies its difficulty: many find the novel hard to read, struggling with its structure and occasionally fragmented style.

This guide accessible, illuminating guide is designed to help readers engage with this complex work and achieve a deeper understanding of its context, the literary strategies it employs, and the various ways in which it has been interpreted since its publication in 1987.

Paul McDonald is Senior Lecturer in American Literature and Course Leader for Creative Writing at the University of Wolverhampton, and is the author of eleven books, including three poetry collections and three comic novels.
