This book traces the chronological development of Atwood’s global
reputation from Canadian nationhood to world-wide politics and from
the role of women to gender identity. Chapters offer a
comprehensive overview of her poetry, novels, shorter fiction,
children’s books, criticism and experimental multi-genre work.
There are more detailed analyses of Atwood’s most influential
writing, from her first novels such as Surfacing and The Edible
Woman, through the works that ensured her international reputation
such as The Handmaid’s Tale, Cat’s Eye and The Robber Bride, to
her most recent work, Alias Grace and Oryx and Crake. Wynne-Davies
presents these works through an overall understanding of Atwood’s
intelligence, humour, linguistic dexterity, breadth of vision and
ethical integrity.
