"Academic treatments of Henry Miller's works have never been numerous and for many years Miller was not a fashionable writer in 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 16 new essays on carefully chosen themes within Miller and his intellectual heritage to form the most authoritative collection of essays ever published on this author."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
