Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This substantial 4-volume encyclopedia is designed for students at the high school level, with directed readings and questions included in each entry. Each entry is devoted to an American writer, with non-fiction writers included. The "contextual" focus is achieved through the organization of the entries, which situates the works of each writer into biographical, historical, literary, and critical contexts, and includes a list of the significant historical figures active at the same time. Each entry includes an inset box with an essay on some aspect of the author's work or life that highlights their "common human experience". The bibliography that concludes each entry contains a list of web sites and periodical articles; the author's major works are listed in the context of the entry and as part of the initial summary stating where and when the author was born.

Book excerpt: This biography examines the life of a person raised in poverty and a single mother at 14, who is now one of the richest and most influential people in the world—Oprah Winfrey. Oprah's life is a bonafide rags-to-riches story that is much more compelling because of her empathy, sense of humor, and ability to communicate and connect with people. Beyond the estimated 30 million American viewers who tune into her television show each week, there are devoted fans in 140 countries where Oprah's show is broadcast. Her life and businesses continue to expand, now encompassing a radio channel, two magazines, and the forthcoming OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network television channel. This book documents the different aspects of Oprah's life, incorporating the details of her public, private, and philanthropic personas. The seven chapters of Oprah Winfrey: A Biography, Second Edition span the time period from her childhood in rural Mississippi to her present-day status as a global superstar and philanthropist.
