Using a critical lens based on Northrop Frye and Julia Kristeva, this book closely examines fourteen novels by eight twentieth-century authors, emphasizing works by L. M. Montgomery, Margaret Laurence, and Margaret Atwood. Several of the novels, such as Montgomery's \u003ci\u003eAnne of Green Gables\u003c\/i\u003e, Laurence's \u003ci\u003eA Jest of God\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Diviners\u003c\/i\u003e, Atwood's \u003ci\u003eSurfacing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBodily Harm\u003c\/i\u003e, Alice Munro's \u003ci\u003eThe Lives of Girls and Women\u003c\/i\u003e, and Gabrielle Roy's \u003ci\u003eThe Tin Flute\u003c\/i\u003e, are among Canada's most well-known. Some of the works discussed present the island as a redemptive retreat, but in most cases the island's role is ambiguous, ranging from a temporary respite from life's pressures to a nightmarish trap.","brand":"Peter Lang Group AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038629396823,"sku":"9780820467924","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-island-motif-in-the-fiction-of-l-m-montgomery-margaret-laurence-margaret-atwood-and-other-canadian-women-novelists-9780820467924","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
