In this critical collection, well-known Atwood scholars offer original readings and critical re-evaluations of three Atwood masterpieces—The Robber Bride, The Blind Assassin, and Oryx and Crake. Providing new critical assessments of Atwood’s novels in language that is both lively and accessible, Margaret Atwood reveals not only Atwood’s ongoing and evolving engagement with the issues that have long preoccupied her—ranging from the power politics of human relationships to a concern with human rights and the global environment—but also her increasing formal complexity as a novelist. If Atwood is a novelist who is part trickster, illusionist and con-artist, as she has often described herself, she is also, as the essays in this critical collection show, an author-ethicist with a finely honed...

These conversations offer what Earl Ingersoll calls "a kind of 'biography' of Margaret Atwood-the only kind of biography she is likely to sanction." Enlivened by Atwood's unfailing sense of humor, the interviews present an invaluable view of a distinguished contemporary writer at work.

Margaret Atwood's Power Politics first appeared in 1971, startling its audience with its vital dance of woman and man. Thirty years later it still startles, and is just as iconoclastic as ever. These poems occupy all at once the intimate, the political, and the mythic. Here Atwood makes us realize that we may think our own personal dichotomies are unique, but really they are multiple, universal. Clear, direct, wry, unrelenting? Atwood's poetic powers are honed to perfection in this important early work.

Independent scholar Tolan offers a detailed study of the first eleven works of Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood, which were published between 1969 and 2003. Each novel is treated in a separate chapter, in chronological order. The focus throughout is on the dynamic relationship between Atwood's fiction and the second-wave feminist theory that was developing during the years in which she was writing.
