Overview
In this critical collection, well-known Atwood scholars offer original readings and critical re-evaluations of three Atwood masterpiecesGÇö 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 herGÇöranging from the power politics of human relationships to a concern with human rights and the global environmentGÇöbut 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 sense of moral responsibility.
