Margaret Drabble is a writer whose subject matter and technique
have developed profoundly since the early sixties: this book draws
together the different aspects of her narrative practice, and looks
at the increasing flexibility of her narrative methods, both in
terms of the kinds of narrator used and in the structuring of plot
events. The often distanced and ironic narration is discussed, and
shown to reinforce Drabble's recurrent themes - themes that include
the effect of early family influence and heredity on free choice,
the inexorable pressure of social changes, and the role of accident
in destabilising the confident individual. In the later novels
people move in a world where they and others may be victims of a
callous society, but may equally be guilty of condoning or
promoting society's worst trends. This study describes how the
narrative increasingly becomes ambiguous, offering then withholding
support for the behaviour of the characters, and challenging the
reader to think again.
