More Description
Considered by many critics to be Britain's most important woman novelist, Doris Lessing warrants major attention. Her novels increasingly bring into question what itmeans to be an emancipated woman in a complex and male-dominated society, especially a woman involved with politics, with writing, with love and sex--a woman who frankly admits her sexuality.
Schlueter's new book is the only in-depth study of all the Lessing novels to date and the first full-length study of her major themes. The insights provided in this work will enable readers to understand and appreciate Doris Lessing's perception and interpretation of human experience in this "complex, chaotic, conformist world."
