Suggesting that rereading the best of John Steinbeck's novels and short stories is a mixed experience, Harold Bloom states Steinbeck will ultimately be viewed as a period writer. Though he is considered a worthy writer, Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, does not stand up critically to the strongest work of his contemporaries. Learn more about Steinbeck with this text, which includes an extensive biography of the author, literary criticism, a list of works by and about the author, and more. This series is edited by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University; Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Professor of English, New York University Graduate School; preeminent literary critic of our time. The lives of the greatest writers of the world are explored in the new series Blooms BioCritiques. In addition to a lengthy biography, each book includes an extensive critical analysis of the writers work, as well as critical views by important literary critics throughout history. These volumes are the perfect introduction to critical study of the important authors currently read and discussed in high schools, colleges, and graduate schools.
