About the Author

From Booklist

The Social Issues in Literature series is a gold mine for the high-school—or even college—student looking for an entry point into an analysis of a classic text. Reprinted articles are broken into three groups: those that focus on the author; those that focus on how the headline issue is exercised within the book itself; and those that expand that issue into contemporary settings. Although there’s some academic hogwash going on in Violence in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies (particularly in a weird 1969 essay aimed at teachers), the direct line drawn from Golding’s D-day trauma to Lord of the Flies is no less than startling. Pictures are minimal, but movie stills are used when available. Readable and useful, these books will rescue paper writers everywhere. Grades 9-12. --Daniel Kraus
