A comprehensive anniversary edition that includes a chronology (once edited by Ann Petry); an introduction that chronicles the evolution of Petry's literary career and criticism, from the 1930s to the present; annotations of Petry's primary and secondary works; and an index that provides resourceful indentations for the unfamiliar and the Petry scholar. The edition compiles invaluable evidence of the growing interest in Ann Petry since her 1993 bio-bibliography - There are more than 500 new secondary annotations which reference the novelist, short story writer, essayist, poet, and author of juvenile and children's literature through, among others, dissertations, peer-reviewed books and articles, comparative studies, interviews, study guides, radio and podcasts, and translations from Petry's increasingly large domestic, international and global audiences. The Petry critics, editors, and researchers unanimously concur that The 25th Anniversary Edition, Ann Petry: A Bio-Bibliography will come to be referenced as invaluable, scrupulously researched, comprehensive, timeless, thorough, and a critical genealogy of Petry's criticism.
