  abstract: The first major collection of critical essays to appear since Morrison's death in mid-2019, this book contains peviously unpublished essays which both acknowledge the universal significance of her writing even as they map new directions. Essayists include pre-eminent Morrison scholars, as well as scholars who work in cultural criticism, African American letters, American modernism and women's writing. The book includes work on Morrison as a public intellectual, work which places Morrison's writing within today's currents of contemporary fiction, work which draws together Morrison's "trilogy" of Beloved, Jazz and Paradise alongside Dos Passos' USA trilogy, work which links Morrison to such Black Atlantic artists as Lubaina Himid and others as well as work which offers a reading of "influence" that goes both directions between Morrison and Faulkner. Another cluster of essays treats seldom-discussed works by Morrison, including an essay on Morrison as writer of children's books and as speaker for children's education. In addition, a "Teaching Morrison" section is designed to help teachers and critics who teach Morrison in undergraduate classes. The Bloomsbury Handbook to Toni Morrison will be wide-ranging, provocative and satisfying, a fitting tribute to one of the greatest American novelists.
