History in Literature series.
This series effectively places literary classics in context without simply regurgitating plot and theme. The authors' biographical details are combined with historical and cultural background, some of which is vague (a too-broad overview of the 1930s in Mice) or confusingly anachronistic (a profile of Barack Obama in Mockingbird). All volumes are busily illustrated with numerous maps and archival pictures. Reading list, timeline, websites. There are five other fall 2006 books in this series. Glos., ind. Review covers these History in Literature titles: John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Willa Cather'sMy Ántonia, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, and George Orwell's Animal Farm.
