Description

Explore the modern and postmodern aesthetics of death through this scholarly collection from Routledge. This book addresses how twentieth and twenty-first century artists represent the reality of death when it exists as memory or lived experience. By examining how death is portrayed as something that happens to others, the text provides deep insight into the way artists bring this powerful reality to life. The contributors work across various genres to analyze literary texts and performance media. This multidisciplinary approach allows for a thorough investigation of how death is handled in different artistic formats. Readers will find analysis of significant works, including Robert Lowell's For the Union Dead, Luis Valdez's Dark Root of a Scream, Amiri Baraka's Dutchman, Thornton Wilder's Our Town, and John Edgar Wideman's The Cattle Killing. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the intersection of literature, performance, and the representation of mortality in American culture.
