Margaret Atwood and the Female Bildungsroman

By Ellen McWilliams

In her study of Margaret Atwood, Ellen McWilliams explores how the Bildungsroman has been appropriated by women writers in the second half of the twentieth century. Early works by Atwood are placed in dialogue with more recent novels, thus furthering our understanding of subjectivity in Atwood's fiction and contributing to conversations about the roles gender and cultural contexts play in redefining genre.
