The idea for The Essential Criticism of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men began over fifteen years ago. Originally considered for publication by Greenwood Press where a series of related volumes was in process in the late 1990s, the volume was never completed although many agreed that such a book was long overdue. The need became even more evident recently as several critical assessments went out of print, and the early reviews of the novel were largely unavailable or the cost to access them was excessive. Thus researchers and undergraduates who were seeking representative critical appraisals of a novel that has sold more than seven million copies in its lifetime and is on the reading lists of thousands of high school curriculums, often found themselves frustrated and unable to find the essays they wanted to read and cite. Noting the potential for a large reading public, Scarecrow Press wisely issued a contract, choosing not only to republish some of the early work but also to publish several studies that have not previously appeared in print.
