Cormac McCarthy’s Borders and Landscapes
Author(s):
Cormac McCarthy's work is attracting an increasing number of scholars and critics from a range of disciplines within the humanities and beyond, from political philosophy to linguistics and from musicology to various branches of the sciences. Cormac McCarthy's Borders and Landscapes contributes to this developing field of research, investigating the way McCarthy's writings speak to other works within the broader fields of American literature, international literature, border literature, and other forms of comparative literature. It also explores McCarthy's literary antecedents and the movements out of which his work has emerged, such as modernism, romanticism, naturalism, eco-criticism, genre-based literature (western, southern gothic), folkloric traditions and mythology.
Review(s):
“A major event in McCarthy studies … Jillett’s edited book deserves high praise … [It] opens up an as yet understudied field of research within McCarthy scholarship … A much-needed book that conjoins the ecocritical and the media-theoretical perspectives within the transnational community of McCarthy scholars … An indispensable guide for those interested in the latest developments of McCarthy studies.” - The Cormac McCarthy Journal
