This book consists of essays, most of which are new, by top Rand scholars on \u003ci\u003eAtlas Shrugged\u003c\/i\u003e, her \u003ci\u003emagnum opus\u003c\/i\u003e. The essays deal with historical, literary, and philosophical topics, surpassing related writings in breadth and depth of analysis. The historical essays cover the writing of \u003ci\u003eAtlas Shrugged\u003c\/i\u003e, its publication history, and its reception. The literary essays cover analysis of the novel's plot, theme, and characterization; comparisons with other works, such as the novels of Hugo, Dostoyevsky, and Joyce; and the proper approach to adapting \u003ci\u003eAtlas Shrugged\u003c\/i\u003e to film. The philosophical essays cover a vast range of topics, including the place of Galt's speech in the novel, the role of the mind in human life, and the evil of non-objective law. Some of the essays make use of previously unpublished material from the Ayn Rand Archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Mayhew\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of philosophy at Seton Hall University.
