Jackie Shead

Margaret Atwood: Crime Fiction Writer (eBook, ePUB)

The Reworking of a Popular Genre

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring how Margaret Atwood's fiction reimagines the figure of the detective and the nature of crime, Jackie Shead shows how the author radically reworks the crime fiction genre. By revealing how her female protagonists confront their own complicity with hegemonic assumptions about gender, class and colonialism, Atwood invites her readers to participate in the same educative process that leads her detective figures to a greater understanding of restrictive cultural myths.
