YASocial Issues in Literature series.
The Huxley volume in this reliable (if not always inspired) series stands out. The timeliness of debate surrounding bioethics makes it useful; the editor is careful to maintain neutrality by presenting a well-chosen selection of essays. The volumes on Hansberry and Knowles are dependable but less likely to elicit enthusiasm from students. Reading list, timeline. Bib., ind. Review covers these Social Issue in Literature titles: Bioethics in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, War in John Knowles's A Separate Peace, and Gender in Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun.
