Reviews
"Fifty years after the publication of The Golden Notebook, a new generation of critics responds to Doris Lessing's masterpiece. These essays illuminate the novel's sources in Lessing's life and times; show what it has meant to generations of readers; and engage in wide-ranging discussions of the novel's politics, ethics, and aesthetics, and of its complex relationship to modernism and postmodernism. Anyone interested in Doris Lessing's writing will enjoy this collection!" - Toril Moi, Duke University, James B. Duke Professor of Literature, Duke University, USA
"This volume perfectly captures why Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook was such a landmark book. The collection contains a wonderful mixture of personal memories and fresh critical approaches to the novel that not only place it in its moment of publication but also make clear how it changed things for fiction to come." - Susan Watkins, Reader in Twentieth-Century Women's Prose Fiction, Leeds Beckett University, UK
