Greenwood, 2005. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. From Peter Abrahams, the South African black nationalist novelist, to Émile Zola the French novelist perhaps most famous for penning J'accuse, a letter objecting to the Dreyfus affair, the 506 entries presented by Booker (English, U. of Arkansas) in this three- volume work sketch the relationship between world literature and world politics. Other figures profiled, typically in page-long entries, include Chilean novelist Isabel Allende, American poet Amiri Baraka (formerly Leroi Jones), French feminist writer Simone De Beauvoir, German playwright Bertolt Brecht, philosopher Jacques Derrida, literary theorist Terry Eagleton, Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, recent Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter, and Mao Zedong. In addition to these biographical entries are occasional entries profiling specific works, such as Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward, Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Plato's Republic, Mary Shelley's A Vindication of the Rights of Women, and Franz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth. Other entries, usually longer than the ones mentioned above, deal with major events, movements, and concepts important to the history of literature and politics, with typical examples including entries on Yugoslav literature, Romanticism, the Spanish Civil War, utopian fiction, and the Industrial Workers of the World. An effort has clearly been made to make the material as internationally representative as possible. Also included in the work are an extensive bibliography and a thorough index.

During the short history of the United States, war has marked the stages of the nation's journey, and imaginative literature has reflected and shaped an understanding of that journey. To study the war literature of the United States, then, is to study not only the representation of individuals at war but also creative renderings of the American experience. Until now, the treatment of American war literature has been handicapped by the absence of a single-source reference that can be the foundation for significant inquiry. This book addresses that need by presenting succinct, authoritative entries on the major writers and texts that have imaginatively represented the American experience of war.This reference establishes the range and character of a significant body of work never before treated so comprehensively. It includes critical commentary on the novels, poems, nonfiction prose, and plays that reflect major conflicts from before the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War and its aftermath. It also includes topical entries that survey the literature of America's major wars as well as such subjects as Indian captivity narratives, women's diaries of the Civil War, the literature of the Spanish-American War, and African American war literature. Entries are written by expert contributors and conclude with brief bibliographies, while the volume closes with a list of works for further reading.
