Henry Miller New Perspectives

Scholarly responses to Henry Miller's works have never been numerous and for many years Miller was not a fashionable writer for literary studies. In fact, there exist only three collections of essays concerning Henry Miller's oeuvre. Since these books appeared, a new generation of international Miller scholars has emerged, one that is re-energizing critical readings of this important American Modernist.

Henry Miller: New Perspectives presents new essays on carefully chosen themes within Miller and his intellectual heritage to form the most authoritative collection ever published on this author.

James M. Decker is Professor of English and Language Studies at Illinois Central College, USA. Author of Henry Miller and Narrative Form: Constructing the Self, Rejecting Modernity (Routledge, 2005) and Ideology (Palgrave, 2003), he edits Nexus: The International Henry Miller Journal. His articles have appeared in numerous journals, including College Literature, English, Studies in the Humanities, and Style.

Indrek Männiste is Visiting Fellow in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Warwick, UK. He also currently works as a Marie Curie Research Fellow at University of Tartu, Estonia. His primary research interest is modernist literature and its philosophical implications.
