Summary

Maya Angelou is an author who is as popularly received as she is critically praised. Her memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings announced the arrival of a distinctive new voice in American letters, noteworthy for its meditation on identity and how notions of race, ethnicity, and gender contribute to and complicate journeys of self-actualization and self-discovery. Bloom's How to Write about Maya Angelou encourages students to sharpen their critical-thinking skills when writing essays about this venerable author. Bibliographies, an index, and an introduction from esteemed scholar Harold Bloom round out this title.
