NetLibrary eBook of the Month: J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations
Edited by Harold Bloom
Chelsea House Publishers, 2009
The Catcher in the Rye is one of the most popular and influential coming-of-age novels ever written, and its 17-year-old protagonist, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon of teen angst. The full-length essays in the March eBook of the Month provide a critical look at this classic by J.D. Salinger.
Edited by master scholar and Yale University Professor Harold Bloom, this comprehensive study guide presents a selection of the best current criticism and includes:
** Critical essays reflecting a variety of schools of
criticism
**Notes on the contributing critics, a chronology of the
author's life, and a bibliography
**Introductory essay by Harold Bloom.
The March eBook of the Month is provided through the generous support of Chelsea House Publishers. Although not yet a part of UCF's collection, J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations will be provided with free, unlimited access March 1-31, 2010, at NetLibrary in the Articles and Databases listing on the library home page.
Remember the first time you read Catcher? Maybe you will think about it differently this time.
