Summary:
"This collection, the first to consider Harper Lee's late novel, focuses on re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird in light of the publication of Go Set a Watchman. The essays range from evaluations of the characters, setting, and themes of To Kill a Mockingbird through the backward lens of Go Set a Watchman to studies of race, sexuality, and how the characters change in Harper Lee's posthumous novel. Three essays focus on teaching both of Lee's novels to students familiar with the canonical To Kill a Mockingbird and to a new generation not yet introduced to Lee"-- Provided by publisher.
