Description

Explore the evolution of literary genres in this scholarly study by Ellen McWilliams. This book examines how Margaret Atwood utilizes and challenges the traditional Bildungsroman framework within her writing. By looking at the history of the genre, McWilliams explains how women writers in the second half of the twentieth century adapted these literary structures to fit new perspectives. This academic work focuses on Atwood's early fiction, including notable titles such as The Edible Woman, Surfacing, and Lady Oracle. The analysis goes beyond published novels to include unpublished works, providing a deep look at how Atwood navigates the concepts of identity and coming-of-age. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in literary theory, gender studies, and the development of modern feminist literature.
