دانلود کتاب Critical Essays on Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood is, perhaps, three writers: the Canadian poet
whose first real book, the 1966 Circle Game, won the Governor General’s
Award, whose pioneer Journals of Susanna Moodie evoked Canadian
history, whose Power Politics and You Are Happy continue to attract
international scholarship, and whose Selected Poems II, 1976-1986, has
just appeared. Margaret Atwood is also the internationally read, translated,
and critiqued fiction writer whose six novels, from the 1969 Edible
Woman through Surfacing, Lady Oracle, Life Before Man, and Bodily
Harm to the 1985 Handmaid’s Tale, have established her as one of the very
best women writing in English, and one of the world’s most original
contemporary novelists. Margaret Atwood is also the forthright critic
whose thematic guide to Canadian literature, Survival, has survived, after
brief but intense 1973 controversy, as Canada’s best-selling and most
influential work of literary criticism, and has become, as a side-effect, a
key guide to her own work; and whose collected 1982 Second Words range
from Canadian poetry and women’s writing to international human
rights.
