Perhaps the most famous treatment of the themes of Enslavement And Emancipation is in the 'Book of Exodus', but the two themes continue to be prominent in great literature today. This title examines the themes of enslavement and emancipation in 'Beloved', 'The Death of Ivan Ilych', the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, 'A Room of One's Own', and many other notable works. Featuring original essays and excerpts from previously published critical analyses, this addition to the Bloom's Literary Themes series gives students valuable insight into the title's subject theme.
Transformation in the form of rebirth and renewal has long been a central theme in literature. This volume explores this theme as found in 'Crime and Punishment', 'Heart of Darkness', 'The Tempest', 'Their Eyes Were Watching God', and many more works. Rebirth and Renewal provides about 20 explanatory essays and critical analyses from which students studying literature can gain valuable insights.
