Toni Morrison's most famous novel, Beloved, has been rightly considered a scathing critique of American slave history in the nineteenth century. Most assessments of Morrison's novel focus on the contents of the story and not much on the techniques and structure of the writing. However, Morrison knew much about modernist narrative techniques and employs nearly all of them to rewrite the history of slavery in the U.S. These modernist techniques provide Morrison the means of turning the major historical events and circumstances of multitudes into personal histories of triumph and failure, and thus give the reader a sense of what it felt like to be ensnared in these movements of history. |
