Description
Porter focuses on Baldwin's earlier novels and essays (upto 1963), and examines the origins of the writer's thematic and stylistic considerations and traits. He sees Baldwin as influenced most readily by the wrtings of Richard Wright, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Henry James. Porter also evaluates Baldwin's tricky job of creating fictional art and speaking for social protest simultaneously. ISBN 0-8195-5197-X: $19.95.
