Individual and Community Variations on a Theme in American Fiction

The contributors to Individual and Communityattempt to illuminate aspects of the individual-community relationship. Though different in focus and approach, the essays themselves express a "community" of concern, a concern which includes not just the situations of characters in fictional worlds, but one which touches the relationship of both novelists and reader to a world of words. The essays are intended to point to the continuity of an important theme in American fiction and to offer insight into the variety of philosophical and literary strategies utilized in significant works of significant authors in dealing with the question of the individual and the community.Baldwin, Kenneth H. is the author of 'Individual and Community Variations on a Theme in American Fiction' with ISBN 9780822303190 and ISBN 0822303191.
