Margaret Drabble is a writer who plays a lively role in both
popular and literary culture. Widely read and studied throughout
the world her novels attract both the general reader and the
literary critic. Originally published in 1985, Joanne Creighton
examines this phenomenon and places particular emphasis on her
"Englishness", her role as a woman writing credibly about modern
women and her ability to mediate between the traditional and the
modern. She argues that the resonances of Drabble's work grow put
of her strong sense of the powers and resources of existing
literary traditions coupled with her intelligent portrayal of the
familiar problems of people in modern society, and that is
precisely this mediating position which makes Drabble an important
voice in contemporary fiction and links her with other writers of
her generation. Challenging those critics who see Drabble as a
fiction traditionalist. Creighton finds her work open-ended,
inquiring, equivocal and unquestionably contemporary in spirit.
