Margaret Atwood enjoys a unique prominence in Canadian letters.
With over thirty books to her credit, in genres ranging from
children's writing to dystopic novels, she is as creatively diverse
as she is internationally acclaimed. Her success, however, has been
double-edged: the very popularity that makes her such a prominent
figure in the literary world also renders her vulnerable to claims
of being a 'sell-out', as she relates in her Empson lectures. "The
Open Eye" negotiates the space between these positions,
acknowledging Atwood's remarkable achievement while considering how
it impacts on national politics and identity. The range of
perspectives in this volume is stimulating and enlightening. "The
Open Eye" begins with a focus on Atwood as she presents herself and
is presented in Canada and abroad, and then proceeds to consider,
more broadly, the intersection of life and literature that Atwood's
works and persona effect. It offers fresh insight into Atwood's
early writing, redresses the critical void regarding her poetry and
shorter prose pieces, and provides a critical base from which
readers can assess Atwood's most recent novels. A common thread
throughout these essays is the recognition of Atwood's importance
in the literary realm in general, and in Canadian literature more
particularly.
