      abstract = {A reading of the oeuvre of Toni Morrisonfiction,  non-fiction, and otherdrawing extensively from her many  interviews as well as her primary texts, Toni Morrison: A  Literary Life, second edition provides an overview of  Morrisons intellectual growth as an artist. Linda  Wagner-Martin aligns Morrison's novels with the works of  Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner, assessing her works as  among the most innovative, and most significant, worldwide,  of the past fifty plus years. The revised edition includes  new discussion of God Help the Child, The Origin of Others,  and The Source of Self-Regard. These additions present and  intensify scholarship on Morrisons major literary  contributions, but also trace her significant role as a  public intellectual, bringing to light the consistency of  Morrisons aesthetic and political visions.
