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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ci\u003eSurfacing \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Edible Woman, \u003c\/i\u003eto an increasingly engaged, political stance, exemplified by \u003ci\u003eThe Handmaid's Tale. \u003c\/i\u003eOther 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Margaret Atwood: Vision and Forms | Kathryn Vanspanckeren | Hardcover | 0809314088 | Used: Good | Back Stacks A 1660696","offer_id":50784619856130,"sku":"1660696","price":26.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/811kz_Wa9zL.jpg?v=1792239165","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/margaret-atwood-vision-and-forms","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
