Review'Carol Shields and the WriterCritic is an intelligent contribution to Shields scholarship, and a rewarding read for students and scholars alike.' (Gillian Roberts, University of Nottingham Contemporary Women's Writing, 12:3, Nov 2018)'a valuable contemporary reappraisal, convincingly arguing that for Shields writing is a social and political act' (Carol Ann Howells, University of London/University of Reading British Journal of Canadian Studies, vol 31 no 1)Product DescriptionThroughout her literary and critical career, Canadian writer Carol Shields (19352003) resisted simple categorization. Her novels are elegant puzzles that confront the reader with the ambiguity of meaning and narrative, yet their position within Shields critical feminist project has, until now, been obscured.In Carol Shields and the WriterCritic, Brenda BeckmanLong illuminates that project through the study of Shields extensive oeuvre, including her fiction and criticism. BeckmanLong brings depth to her analysis through close readings of six novels, including the awardwinning The Stone Diaries. Elliptical, openended, and concerned with women writing about women, these novels reveal Shields critique of dominant masculine discourses and her deep engagement with the long tradition of womens life writing. BeckmanLongs original archival research attests to Shields preoccupation with the changing efforts of waves of feminist activism and writing.A much needed reappraisal of Shieldss innovative work, Carol Shields and the WriterCritic contributes to the scholarship on life writing and autobiography, literary criticism, and feminist and critical theory.ReviewNoone has argued as coherently and persuasively for a reading of all of Shieldss fiction that traces her development as a writercritic from its beginning. (Neil Besner, Department of English, University of Winnipeg)Carol Shields and the WriterCritic is a valuable study of Shields complex relationship with autobiography, biography, and authorship. BeckmanLongs interpretations are original, interesting, and persuasive. They open a new door to this writers novels. (Aritha van Herk, Department of English, University of Calgary)About the AuthorBrenda BeckmanLong is an assistant professor of English at Briercrest College and Seminary, which is affiliated with the University of Saskatchewan.
