SynopsisToo often, Steinbeck's work has been studied piecemeal, even when the intention was for a rounded view. In this study, Howard Levant analyzes the patterns in Steinbeck's work, taking an approach that permits a judgment of each novel in the context of a greater appreciation of the shape of Steinbeck's long career.
