The purpose of this study is to examine the rationale of Doris
Lessing's development from classical realism to mysticism and forms
of science fiction, and to consider the unifying motifs that appear
throughout her novels in her consistent search for Sufi
equilibrium. The selected novels represent significant stages in
Lessing's work. Chapter one focuses on "The Grass is Singing",
which represents the author's early, traditionally realistic
writing, to show how far the preoccupations of Lessing's later
novels find expression in this early work. Chapter two studies "The
Golden Notebook", which marks a turning point in formal structure
in Lessing's canon, and is selected as evidence of her interest in
Sufism at that early stage. Chapter three concentrates on the study
of "The Memoirs of a Survivor", which has elicited a comparatively
limited amount of criticism, but which proves to be a major
achievement when brought into line with Sufi methods of writing.
Chapter four considers Lessing's science fiction series, "Canopus
in Argos", trading sources from Oriental literature - a key which
unlocks many areas of obscurity.
