Abstract

Margaret Atwood is an internationally renowned, highly versatile author whose work creatively explores what it means to be human through genres ranging from feminist fable to science fiction and Gothic romance. In this timely new study, Gina Wisker reassesses Atwood's entire fictional output to date, providing both original analysis and a lively overview of the criticism surrounding her work. 'Margaret Atwood: An Introduction to Critical Views of Her Fiction': • covers all of Atwood's novels as well as her short stories • surveys the critical reception of her fiction and the fascinating debates developed by key Atwood critics • explores the main approaches to reading Atwood's work and examines issues such as her interventions in genre writing and ecology, as well as her feminism, post-feminism and narrative usage, both conventional and experimental. Concise and approachable, this is an ideal volume for anyone studying the fiction of this major contemporary writer.

Abstract

Het aantal vrouwelijke studenten aan universiteiten en hogeshcolen bedraagt ongeveer de helft van het totaal aantal studenten. De leiding van deze onderwijsinstellingen en het academisch lesgevend personeel bestaat nog hoofdzakelijk uit mannen. Vanuit deze twee vaststellingen vertrekt dit boek en onderzoekt dit nader. Het eerste gedeelte gaat over vrouwelijke studenten in het hoger en universitair onderwijs. Welke studierichtingen kiezen zij en waarom? Wordt er voldoende rekening gehouden met de verschillen in leerstijlen tussen mannen en vrouwen? Wordt er in het lesgeven en de onderwijsprogramma's rekening gehouden met de ervaringen van vrouwen en komen vrouwen daaring voldoende aan bod? In het tweede gedeelte komen de loopbaanperspectieven ter sprake van vrouwen als lesgevers en als managers. Er wordt vastgesteld dat er nog maar weinig vrouwelijke hoogleraren zijn. Voor groot-Brittannië is maar 7 % van de hoogleraren een vrouw. Vrouwen stoten ook zelden door naar hogere managementsfuncties. In het boek worden een aantal strategieën beschreven om hierin verandering te brengen.

Abstract

This book offers new insights on socially and culturally engaged Gothic ghost stories by twentieth century and contemporary female writers; including Shirley Jackson, Angela Carter, Toni Morrison, Ali Smith, Susan Hill, Catherine Lim, Kate Mosse, Daphne du Maurier, Helen Dunmore, Michele Roberts, and Zheng Cho. Through the ghostly body, possessions and visitations, women's ghost stories expose links between the political and personal, genocides and domestic tyrannies, providing unceasing reminders of violence and violations. Women, like ghosts, have historically lurked in the background, incarcerated in domestic spaces and roles by familial and hereditary norms. They have been disenfranchised legally and politically, sold on dreams of romance and domesticity. Like unquiet spirits that cannot be silenced, women's ghost stories speak the unspeakable, revealing these contradictions and oppressions. Wisker's book demonstrates that in terms of women's ghost stories, there is much to point the spectral finger at and much to speak out about.

Abstract

‘At last we have a definitive guide to the marriage between contemporary women’s fiction and the Gothic, which gleefully plunges the romance plot into darkness and prises heroines away from constraining narratives in an endless series of reinventions from the Cartesque through to the post-colonial.’ – Marie Mulvey-Roberts, University of the West of England, UK This book revives and revitalises the literary Gothic in the hands of contemporary women writers. It makes a scholarly, lively and convincing case that the Gothic makes horror respectable, and establishes contemporary women’s Gothic fictions in and against traditional Gothic. The book provides new, engaging perspectives on established contemporary women Gothic writers, with a particular focus on Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood and Toni Morrison. It explores how the Gothic is malleable in their hands and is used to demythologise oppressions based on difference in gender and ethnicity. The study presents new Gothic work and new nuances, critiques of dangerous complacency and radical questionings of what is safe and conformist in works as diverse as Twilight (Stephenie Meyer) and A Girl Walks Home Alone (Ana Lily Amirpur), as well as by Anne Rice and Poppy Brite. It also introduces and critically explores postcolonial, vampire and neohistorical Gothic and women’s ghost stories.
