Ian McEwan, Margaret Drabble, Martin Amis, Rita Dove, Andrew Motion
and Anthony Thwaite are among the twenty-two distinguished
contributors of original essays to this landmark volume on the
profound and frequently perplexing bond between writer and mother.
In compelling detail they bring to life the thoughts, work, loves,
friendships, passions and, above all, the influence of mothers upon
their literary offspring from Shakespeare to the present. Many of
the contributors evoke the ideal with fond and loving memories:
understanding, selfless, spiritual, tender, protective, reassuring
and self-assured mothers who created environments favorable to the
development of their children's gifts. At the opposite end of the
parenting spectrum, however, we also see tortured mothers who
ignored, interfered with, smothered or abandoned their children.
Their early years were times of traumatic loss, unhappily dominated
by death and human frailty. Elegantly assembled and presented,
Writers and Their Mothers will appeal to everyone interested in
biography, literature, and creativity in general.
