Features: Morrison is one of the most important contemporary American writers and the recipient of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature. Her novels vividly depict the lives of African Americans in the United States, filled with imagination and poetry. The author of this book studies and draws on the methods of New Historicism, combining textual analysis with documentary research to examine Morrison's cultural stance—that is, her reinterpretation, rewriting, and resistance to the white literary tradition. This monograph can serve as a guide for general readers to explore Morrison's works. Through the author's textual interpretation of Morrison's novels and the various "appropriations" and "transformations" of non-literary texts revealed by him, readers can deepen their understanding of these works.
