Bøker av Timothy Parrish

Drawing on Ralph Ellison's recently published `unfinished' novel, newly released archival materials, and unpublished correspondence, Parrish provides a sustained reconsideration of the writer's crucial friendships with Richard Wright, Robert Penn Warren, and C. Vann Woodward to show how his life was dedicated to creating an American society in which all could participate equally.

Why don't we read novels as if they were histories and histories as if they were novels? Postmodern theorists have argued that since history is a narrative art, it must be understood as a form of narrative representation analogous to fiction. This work reconsiders the relationship between history and fiction in the context of postmodernism.
