A Review of Literary Studies: Summer 2019 (Pennsylvania Literary Journal)

This issue offers one of the longer sets of book reviews of over seventy titles from the Editor, Anna Faktorovich. The books covered come from academic publishers. They are discussed in greater depths than most book reviews from theoretical, historical and comparative perspectives. If you are looking for a general trade book on nutrition or a great art book to put on your shelf, you will find some ideas here. If you are a researcher in the literature field (especially in the British Isles), you will find information on recent releases that most scholars should be familiar with. The essays section includes a theoretical piece from Susie Gharib on the relationship between color and theme in the texts of D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. The second essay by Kathleen Murphey (associate professor of English at Community College of Philadelphia) covers the problem of normalization of rape culture in literature. The short stories offered are by Steve Carr, D. Seth Horton (professor of literature at the University of Virginia) and Ziaul Moid Khan (teaches English at Gudha International School). The poetry section is full of strange and innovative works by Danny P. Barbare, Joseph Chopko, Philip Fried (founding editor of The Manhattan Review), Lloyd Jacobs (Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan), Rob Luke (teaches English at Delano High School), Robin Ray, Timothy Robbins, and Howard Winn (SUNY Professor of English).
