John Steinbeck's Novels : A Critical Understanding is a modest attempt to examine Steinbeck's major fictional works; Cup of God, To A God Unknown, The Pastures of Heaven, Tortilla Flat, In Dubious Battle, The Grapes of Wrath, Of Mice and Men, The Moon is Down, Burning Bright, Cannery Row, the Pearl, The Wayward Bus and East of Eden. It also provides an overview of Steinbeck's concept of biological naturalism and non-teleological thinking.
The treatise offers a comprehensive and serious discourse on Steinbeck's works placing him as one of the leading American authors of the twentieth century. The book, it is hoped, will be useful not only for students, teachers and researchers in understanding Steinbeck's works but also enhance the enjoyment of readers and lovers of Steinbeck. |
