Margaret Atwood: Writing and Subjectivity : New Critical Essays

From a variety of theoretical perspectives, and including European and North American contributions, 13 essays examine how as a woman writer Atwood articulates the pressures and determinations which condition the feminine before allowing it to speak for itself. The essays also look at how as a Canadian she explores the complicated relationships between representation and self-representation in a world of vastly uneven distributions of power and responsibility.
