Ralph Ellison and the Politics of the Novel

In this engaging study, H. William Rice illuminates the mystery that is Ralph Ellison: the author of one complex, important novel who failed to complete his second; a black intellectual who remained notably reticent on political issues during the desegregation of his native South. Rice guides his reader to a greater understanding of Ralph Ellison, his oeuvre, and the American novel.

H. William Rice is Professor of English and Dean of the School of Liberal Arts at Shorter College.
