Zipperstein, Daniel E. Koshland Professor in Jewish Culture and History, Stanford University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eIt’s well known that Philip Roth courted disapproval and thrived on giving offense. What’s less well known is that his fiction is an intellectual feast and an incomparable scrutiny of modern life. This wide-ranging collection helps us acknowledge the breadth and scale of Roth’s significance. * Patrick Hayes, Fellow of St John’s College, University of Oxford, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bloomsbury Handbook to Philip Roth \u003c\/i\u003eis the authoritative volume on contemporary approaches to Roth’s work. Combining new scholarly voices with established Roth experts, the volume examines Roth’s complex representations of women, race, and sexualities. The volume offers formal approaches to this most literary of American writers, as well as careful examinations of the difficulty of Roth’s reputation. Aimee Pozorski and Maren Scheurer have compiled a rich and fascinating guide through the territory of Roth’s life, research, interests, and writings.
