Too 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.

“This is, at last, a good critical study of all of Steinbeck’s longer fiction. . . . Levant is determined to sidestep the impressionistic and peevish paeans and diatribes of earlier commentators and to apply hard, fixed, and useful critical touchstones to Steinbeck’s books. His concern is chiefly with the harmony, or lack of it, between Steinbeck’s ‘structure’ and ‘materials,’ and more precisely between the writer’s use of panoramic (episodic) and dramatic (tightly related) structure.”—Choice
