Alien Heart: The Life & Work of Margaret Laurence,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Today, almost two decades after her death, Margaret Laurence remains one of Canadas bestknown and most beloved writers. Twice winner Canadas prestigious Governor Generals Award for fiction, she was, as the late William French wrote, more profoundly admired than any other Canadian novelist of her generation.Lyall Powers is both a respected scholar of literature and a lifelong friend of Laurences, having met her when they were students together in the 1940s. Alien Heart is the first fulllength biography of Margaret that combines personal knowledge and insights about Laurence with a study of her work, which often paralleled the events and concerns in her own life.Drawing upon letters, personal correspondence, journals, and interviews, Powers discusses the struggles and triumphs Laurence experienced in efforts to understand herself in the roles of writer, wife, mother, and public figure. He portrays a deeply compassionate and courageous woman, who yet felt troubled by conflicting demands. While Laurences work is not directly autobiographical, Powers illustrates how her writing expressed many of the same dilemmas, and how the resolution her characters achieved in the novels and short stories impacted Laurences own life.Powers provides an indepth analysis of all Laurences work, including the early African essays, fiction, translations, and her books for children, as well as the beloved Manawaka fiction. This study clearly shows the progression and expression of Laurence as a writer of great humanity and conscience.
