History has not been kind to the 1980s. The decade is often associated with absurd
fashion choices, neo-Conservatism in the Reagan/Bush years, the AIDS crisis, Wall
Street ethics, and uninspired television, film, and music. Yet the literature of the
1980s is undeniably rich and lasting. American Literature in Transition, 1980–1990
seeks to frame some of the decade's greatest achievements such as Toni Morrison's
monumental novel Beloved and to consider some of the trends that began in the 1980s
and developed thereafter, including the origins of the graphic novel, prison literature,
and the opening of multiculturalism vis-à-vis the 'canon wars'. This volume argues
not only for the importance of 1980s American literature, but also for its centrality
in understanding trends and trajectories in all contemporary literature against the
broader background of culture. This volume serves as both an introduction and a deep
consideration of the literary culture of our most maligned decade
