The University Press of Kentucky (Verlag)
978-0-8131-6776-3 (ISBN)
In A Political Companion to Marilynne Robinson, Shannon L. Mariotti and Joseph H. Lane Jr. assemble both rising and established political theorists to explore the juxtaposition of Robinson's nonfiction works and her novels, and to examine their connections to contemporary political issues. The collection analyzes Robinson's writings on American democracy, community, and freedom, and it includes an engrossing interview with the author specifically conducted for this volume. From an exploration of the democratic potential in being a "housekeeper of homelessness" to a study of models of action against racial injustice, this volume provides fascinating new insights into Robinson's work and how it reflects and reassesses American political culture and theory.
Shannon L. Mariotti, associate professor of political science at Southwestern University, is the author of Thoreau's Democratic Withdrawal: Alienation, Participation, and Modernity and Adorno and Democracy: The American Years. Joseph H. Lane Jr. is the Hawthorne Professor and Chair of the Department of Politics at Emory & Henry College, where he also directs the college Honors Program. He is a coauthor of The Deconstitutionalization of America and coeditor of Engaging Nature: Environmentalism and the Political Theory Canon.
