Title
Agee At 100: Centennial Essays On The Works Of James Agee,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Drawn mainly from the centennial anniversary symposium on James Agee held at the University of Tennessee in the fall of 2009, the essays of Agee at 100 are as diverse in topic and purpose as is Agees work itself. Often devalued during his life by those who thought his breadth a hindrance to greatness, Agees achievements as a poet, novelist, journalist, essayist, critic, documentarian, and screenwriter are now more fully recognized. With its use of previously unknown and recently recovered materials as well as established works, this groundbreaking new collection is a timely contribution to the resurgence of interest in Agees significance.The essays in this collection range from the scholarly to the personal, and all offer insight into Agees writing, his cultural influence, and ultimately Agee himself. Dwight Garner opens with his reflective essay on Why Agee Matters. Several essays present almost entirely new material on Agee. Paul Ashdown writes on Agees book reviews, which, unlike Agees film criticism, have received scant attention. With evidence from two largely unstudied manuscripts, Jeffrey Couchman sets the record straight on Agees contribution to the screenplay for The African Queen and delves as well into his television miniseries screenplay Mr. Lincoln. John Wranovics treats Agees lesserknown filmsthe documentaries In the Street and The Quiet One and the Filipino epic Genghis Khan. Jeffrey J. Folks wrestles with Agees culture of repudiation while James A. Crank investigates his perplexing treatment of race in his prose. Jesse Graves and Andrew Crooke provide new analyses of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, and Michael A. Lofaro and Philip Stogdon both discuss Lofaros recently restored text of A Death in the Family. David Madden closes the collection with his short story Seeing Agee in Lincoln, an imagined letter from Agee to his longtime confidante Father Flye.The contributors to Agee at 100 utilize materials new and old to reveal the true importance of Agee's range of cultural sensibility and literary ability. Film scholars will also find this collection particularly engrossing, as will anyone fascinated by the work of the author rightly deemed the sovereign prince of the English language.Michael A. Lofaro is Lindsay Young Professor of American Literature and American and Cultural Studies at the University of Tennessee. Most recently, he restored James Agees A Death in the Family and is the general editor of the projected elevenvolume The Works of James Agee.
