Toni Morrison: Critical Overviews

203
These pages aim to introduce readers to a selection of published criticism on Toni Morrison. The main goal is for the pages to be helpful to scholars doing research on Morrison, as they aim to connect with previous scholarly conversations on various topics in Morrison's work. 

We're aiming to organize the critical overviews in a number of different ways, including by book and by method and/or area of emphasis. Every entry should contain a brief quote containing the key idea or argument, a set of keywords, and an extract from the article's Works Cited. 

(In progress as of July 2021.)
