The most substantial collection of critical essays on Morrison to appear since her death in mid-2019, this book contains previously unpublished essays which both acknowledge the universal significance of her writing even as they map new directions.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 womenâs writing.

The book includes work on Morrison as a public intellectual; work which places Morrisonâs writing within todayâs currents of contemporary fiction; work which draws together Morrisonâs âtrilogyâ of Beloved, Jazz, and Paradise alongside Dos Passosâ 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 âinfluenceâ 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 childrenâs books and as speaker for childrenâs education. In addition, a âTeaching Morrisonâ section is designed to help teachers and critics who teach Morrison in undergraduate classes.

The Bloomsbury Handbook to Toni Morrison is wide-ranging, provocative, and satisfying; a fitting tribute to one of the greatest American novelists.
