Description

Explore a deep academic study of self-consciousness in modern fiction. Originally published in 1990, this Routledge Library Edition examines the structural shifts within the novels of Doris Lessing and Carmen Martin Gaite. The text focuses on two specific pairs of works: Lessing's The Summer Before the Dark (1973) alongside Martin Gaite's Retahilas (1974), and Lessing's The Memoirs of a Survivor (1974) alongside Martin Gaite's The Back Room (1978). This analysis provides a framework for understanding how narrative structures impact our perception of identity. By studying these specific literary works, readers can gain insight into the connections between narrative form and broader social themes. The study is organized into three major structural divisions that examine the implications of these novels for feminism, literary narrative, and the lives of people-at-large. This volume serves as a significant resource for students and scholars of literary theory and modern fiction.
