Henry Miller: New Perspectives

by James M. Decker (Editor), Indrek Manniste (Editor), Louis A. Renza (Foreword)

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.

[Jeff Bursey]

Not having seen this book yet I can't give it any stars, but I do have an essay in it on obscenity.

Now having seen it, I can say that there are a variety of approaches to Miller's use of language, his time in Paris and Big Sur, and religion. Lacan, Millet and Le Guin make appearances as well.
