TONI MORRISONS ART A HUMANISTIC EXPLORATION OF ...

Toni Morrison  the eighth American to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature  is perhaps the
most formally sophisticated novelist in the history of African-American literature. Astutely 
she describes aspects of human lives and  unlike many other writers  reveals the hope and
beauty that underlines the worlds ugliness. Her artistic excellence lies in achieving a perfect
balance between black literature and writing abouth the universally truth. Although firmly
grounded in the cultural heritage and social concerns of black Americans  her work transcends
narrowly prescribed conceptions of ethnic literature  exhibiting universal mythical patterns
and overtones. Her novels  thus  mourn on universal concerns. The endeavor in this study is to
scrutinize the unspoken lexis of Toni Morrison's works and to unveil the layers of humanistic
concerns that provide denotations to her words. Earlier studies on this writer have
concentrated on adjudging her as a writer addressing problems of black people. However  this
book tries to extend this notion to encompass the problems of whole human community by
assimilating blacks in the general drama of life. Before dyeing the strings of Morrison's
novels with the colour of humanist concerns  this book delineates the term 'Humanism' from
which these humanistic concerns arise.
