| Summary: | This new addition to the Critical Insights series gives readers an entry point into the study this major literary and social text. Essays position Native Son in both a historical and a modern context, analyzing the novel's contemporary literary and cultural landscape, chronicling its critical reception and comparing it to other works of art illuminate the past, while essays that employ modern critical lenses speak to Native Son's current relevance and beyond. Themes of particular interest to Wright are examined in this volume, including existentialism, Marxism and phenomenology. The story's themes and early critical response are examined through historical and modern contexts. Essays also explore the novel's film adaptations, and the novel is compared and contrasted against additional relevant works by Wright. |
