Reseña del editor

This new edition of Elizabeth Maslen's successful study covers the full range of Doris Lessing's work and explores in detail both its form and content. From The Grass is Singing (1950) through to Alfred and Emily (2008) her main concerns are shown to have a remarkable continuity, both in her commitment to political and cultural issues and in her explorations of inner space. Her experiments with form are closely analysed, and her bold exposure of jargon, clich , and the manipulative power of language is demonstrated. While she can be seen as part of the great diasporaic influx that followed World War Two her experimentations with form blend in with the explorations of realism taking place in much British fiction from the early years of the twentieth century. This is a concise, accessible, but scholarly book, offering both perceptive critical insights and a valuable up-to-date bibliography.

Reseña del editor

This study covers a wide range of Doris Lessing's works, including all of the novels (from The Grass is Singing through The Golden Notebook to The Good Terrorist and The Fifth Child) and a representative selection of her non-fictional prose and short stories. This is a concise but scholarly book, offering not only critical insights but a valuable up-to-date bibiliography.
