But when \u003ci\u003eInvisible Man\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1952, Ellison received immediate acclaim from a wide variety of critics, scholars, and novelists. While his novel emerged as a major work of African American literature, it also engaged the European literary tradition and influenced an entire generation of post-World War II writers. Ellison is now one of the most studied African American writers, and the posthumous publication of his second novel, \u003ci\u003eJuneteenth, \u003c\/i\u003e in 1999 has drawn even more attention to his contribution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough previously published reviews and essays, and original material, this book charts the response to Ellison's writings. While the bulk of the volume focuses on \u003ci\u003eInvisible Man, \u003c\/i\u003e the book also includes sections devoted to Ellison's short fiction and nonfiction, as well as posthumous estimates of his work. A chronology highlights the most important events in his life and career, while an introductory essay overviews the broad trends in Ellison scholarship. The volume concludes with a selected bibliography of primary and secondary works.","brand":"Greenwood Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45086951702679,"sku":"9780313302855","price":7035.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780313302855.webp?v=1767266372","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-critical-response-to-ralph-ellison-9780313302855","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
