A prolific writer and versatile social critic, Canadian novelist and poet Margaret Atwood has recently published Bluebeard's Egg (short stories), Interlunar (poetry), and The Handmaid's Tale a critically acclaimed best-selling novel. This international collection of essays evaluates the complete body of her work--both the acclaimed fiction and the innovative poetry. The critics represented here--American, Australian, and Canadian--address Atwood's handling of such themes as feminism, ecology, the gothic novel, and the political relationship between Canada and the United States. The essays on Atwood's novels introduce the general reader to her development as a writer, as she matures from a basically subjective, poetic vision, seen in Surfacing and The Edible Woman, to an increasingly engaged, political stance, exemplified by The Handmaid's Tale. Other essays examine Atwood's poetry, from her transformation of the Homeric model to her criticisms of the United States' relationship with Canada. The last two critical essays offer a unique view of Atwood through an investigation of her use of the concept of shamanism and through a presentation of eight of her vivid watercolors. The volume ends with Atwood presenting her own views in an interview with Jan Garden Castro and in a conversation between Atwood and students at the University of Tampa, Florida.
