Student Companion to John Steinbeck pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Examines Steinbeck's most important and enduring works, as well as his life and his place in the canon of American literature. Since the publication of Tortilla Flat in 1935, Steinbeck's treatment of American landscapes and themes has struck a chord with readers. His novels Of Mice and Men (1937), The Grapes of Wrath(1939), and Cannery Row (1945) quickly became highly regarded bestsellers and feature films, and have endured the test of time to earn Steinbeck a place in the canon of American Literature. This Student Companion guides readers through these works as well as Steinbeck's other important novels and short fiction, particularly those that are most often taught, such as The Pearl (1945) and the Red Pony (1933). Clear analysis of each work includes discussions of character development plot and setting, thematic treatment, historical contexts and alternate critical readings. A well-drawn biographical chapter and another on Steinbeck's career and contributions help readers gain a sense of Steinbeck the man and his position as one of America's most important writers. Covering six of Steinbeck's novels and four of his short stories, this volume provides background and lucid critical analysis of each work making it an excellent introduction for the student. It has additional value as a resource for further study with an extensive bibliography of biographical information, general criticism, and copious contemporary reviews of all the works covered.
