Description

This scholarly examination by Theodore F. Sheckels explores how politics and power operate at the heart of Margaret Atwood's fiction, tracing her work from The Edible Woman through The Year of the Flood. The analysis reveals Atwood's consistent preoccupation with power dynamics across political, economic and social institutions, whether rendered explicitly in novels like Bodily Harm and The Handmaid's Tale or through psychological interiority in Cat's Eye and The Robber Bride. Sheckels demonstrates how Atwood's treatment of the empowered and the constrained deepens in sophistication across her career, making this book essential for readers seeking to understand the political dimensions embedded throughout her fiction.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in philosophy, politics and social sciences scholarship.
