Video: "Beloved" by Toni Morrison

National Association of Scholars

“Sweet, crazy conversations full of half sentences, daydreams and misunderstandings more thrilling than understanding could ever be.”

What makes Beloved a great American novel? Who, or to what, does Beloved refer to? Who influenced Morrison's writings, and who did her writings influence?

This webinar features Patricia Brown, Professor of English at Azusa Pacific University; Carolyn Denard, Founder and Board Chair of the Toni Morrison Society; and Julia Yost, Senior Editor at First Things. The discussion is moderated by David Randall, Director of Research at the National Association of Scholars.

You can find a list of the speakers' books available for purchase here.
