TY - GEN T1 - Barbara Kingsolver's world : nature, art, and the twenty-first century A1 - Wagner-Martin, Linda LA - English PP - New York, NY PB - Bloomsbury Academic YR - 2014 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/ebsco_acadsubs_ocn876592386 AB - "Since Barbara Kingsolver published The Bean Trees in 1988, her work has been of great interest to readers -- first, American readers; then British and South African readers; and finally to readers the world over. With incredible speed, Kingsolver became one of the best-known United States writers, a person who collected honors and awards as if she were a much more mature literary producer. From the beginning Kingsolver touched an elbow of keen interest in her readers: hers was the voice of world awareness, a conscientious voice that demanded attention for the narratives of the disadvantaged, the politically troubled, the humanly silenced. By paying special attention to her non-fiction (essays and books), this new study by renowned literary critic Linda Wagner-Martin highlights the way Kingsolver has become a kind of public intellectual, particularly in the twenty-first century. It will provides fresh readings of each of her novels, stories, and poems."--Provided by publisher OP - 218 CN - PS3561.I496 Z95 2014eb SN - 9781623567361 SN - 162356736X SN - 9781623560317 SN - 1623560314 SN - 9781628927023 SN - 162892702X SN - 9781623566289 SN - 1623566282 SN - 9781623564469 SN - 1623564468 KW - Kingsolver, Barbara : Criticism and interpretation.
