| Sumario: | The death of Nobel Prize-winning Doris Lessing sparked a range of commemorations that cemented her place as one of the major figures of twentieth- and twenty-first-century world literature. This volume views Lessinǵ⁰₉s writing as a whole and in retrospect, focusing on her innovative attempts to rework literary form to engage with the challenges thrown up by the sweeping historical changes through which she lived. The 12 original chapters provide new readings of Lessinǵ⁰₉s work via contexts ranging from post-war youth politics and radical womeń⁰₉s writing to European cinema, analyse her experiments with genres from realism to autobiography and science-fiction, and draw on previously unstudied archive material. The volume also explores how Lessinǵ⁰₉s writing can provide insight into some of the issues now shaping twenty-first century scholarship ́⁰₃ including trauma, ecocriticism, the post-human, and world literature ́⁰₃ as they emerge as defining challenges to our own present moment in history. |
