"...the first full-length critical examination of this acclaimed author/illustrator's work. In her thoughtful, concise study, Ruth K. MacDonald argues that Dr..

MacDonald believes that Dr. Seuss's work, which has until now remained largely ignored as literature because of its mass appeal, not only celebrates the particularly Am. e ri ca n trait of individuality, but also challenges the limits and conventions of children's literature. In her chronological survey of his work and her investigation of his influence upon other authors and illustrators, MacDonald shows that it i. s his ge nius, not clever marketing techniques, that has led to Dr. Seuss's marvelous and longstanding popularity....a chronology, and selected bibliography are included."

Scott Fitzgerald based on his complete works from the Princeton juvenilia to 'The Last Tycoon'. In a work-by-work analysis, Sergio Perosa reveals the. literary craftsman who through the conscious use of a Europeanized technique gave artistic form to the American experience. Fitzgerald's personal life - his early success at 23 and his failure by the age of 30 - has obscured his literary reputat. i o n, making him more a legend than anything else. This book restores Fitzgerald to his rightful place in American literature. Perosa gives the date and circumstances of each composition, discusses the various texts, compares the protagonists, an. al yz es the themes, and reveals the creative apparatus that made Fitzgerald great. (This book) presents a well-balanced appraisal of the writer who was the laureate of the Jazz Age. It discusses Fitzgerald's roots in both American and British lit. era tur e and points out his contributions to the craft of fiction."

Bhaskara Rao demonstrates that 'to explain Kipling....is to explain the earlier phase of British impeialism in India', in which 'the Indian became a stranger in his own land'. For Kiplin. g politics and literature were interactive and he made a religion out of the imperial theme. Since Kipling had been born in India, he was considered to have a special insight into the Anglo-Saxon problems of governing this sub-continent. His wr. i t i ngs in the 'Civil and Military Gazette' created the ordinary Englishman's picture of Indian life. Rao thinks Kipling might have used his influence with his responsive audience to promote good feeling between the races. Instead, as the humani. st ic s cholar Gilbert Murray said of his old friend, Kipling had 'used his great powers to stir up in the minds of hundreds of Englishmen a blind and savage contempt for the Bengali', to which the Bengali reciprocated in kind. Although later Engl. ish wr ite rs of Indian life, such as E.M. Forster and John Masters, helped promote anti-imperialism by dispelling the notion that the Indians were an inferior race, Kipling's early work was a historic force in alienating the two races. Even thoug. h Ki plin g's later work shows great understanding of India, no study of his life and writing reflects the profound influence his early work exerted on British imperialism...."
