19 November 2013 Annotated Bibliography of the Criticisms of John Steinbeck’s “ Of Mice & Men”. “John (Ernest) Steinbeck,” “ An overview Of Mice and Men,”
“ Steinbeck, Johnson, and the Master/Slave Relationship, “ Reduced to Nothing: Race, Lynching, and Erasure in the Theater Revision of Steinbeck 's Of Mice and Men, “ “ Steinbeck 's Of Mice and Men (1937). “
Research Abstract:
John Steinbeck is best known for The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men. Kevin Attell writes criticisms of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men and details how he wrote very radically for his era in “ An Overview Of Mice and Men.” James Gray writes a great biography in “ John (Ernest) Steinbeck” giving the reader more than enough detail about Steinbeck’s childhood, adult life, and his writings. Whereas, Daniel Griesbach shows readers how taking a book and turning it into a play is not always good in “ Reduced to Nothing: Race, Lynching, and Erasure in the Theater Revision of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.” Richard Hart thrills readers with his criticisms of the master/slave relationship in “Steinbeck, Johnson, and the Master/Slave Relationship.” Last but certainly not least John Slater is very opinionated about Steinbeck incorporates slang into his writings in the criticisms “ Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.” (1937) Steinbeck has lots of critics and they all acknowledge that he speaks to the old era that is no longer here. Attell, Kevin. “ An Overview of Mice and Men.” Literature Resource Center. Detroit: Gale. (2013). Tarrant County College Lib., Fort Worth, TX. Web.
