This essay offers a close reading of Atwood's "The Blind Assassin", and its highly refined intertextuality, according to T.S.Eliot’s concept of “mythical method.” In Atwood's novel, however, the modernist use of myth is reconsidered within the ideological and aesthetic categories of Postcolonialism. The essay is collected in one of the most updated, international critical assessments of Atwood’s work.

The essay is collected in one of the most updated, international critical assessments of Atwood’s work.File in questo prodotto:
