What is included with this book?
Scholarly responses to Henry Miller's works have never been numerous and for many years Miller was not a fashionable writer for literary studies. In fact, there exist only three collections of essays concerning Henry Miller's oeuvre. Since these books appeared, a new generation of international Miller scholars has emerged, one that is re-energizing critical readings of this important American Modernist.
Henry Miller: New Perspectives presents new essays on carefully chosen themes within Miller and his intellectual heritage to form the most authoritative collection ever published on this author.
James M. Decker is Professor of English and Language Studies at Illinois Central College, USA. He is the author of Henry Miller and Narrative Form: Constructing the Self, Rejecting Modernity (2005) and Ideology (2003) and is the Editor of Nexus: The International Henry Miller Journal.
Indrek Männiste is Lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts, Estonia, and author of Henry Miller: The Inhuman Artist: A Philosophical Inquiry (2013).
