{"product_id":"island-motif-in-the-fiction-of-lm-montgo","title":"Island Motif In The Fiction Of Lm Montgo By Sheckels, Theodore F","description":"Islands, both literal and figurative, recur in fiction authored by many prominent Canadian women writers. Using a critical lens based on Northrop Frye and Julia Kristeva, this book closely examines fourteen novels by eight twentieth-century authors, emphasizing works by L. M. Montgomery, Margaret Laurence, and Margaret Atwood. Several of the novels, such as Montgomery’s \u003ci\u003eAnne of Green Gables\u003c\/i\u003e, Laurence’s \u003ci\u003eA Jest of God\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Diviners\u003c\/i\u003e, Atwood’s \u003ci\u003eSurfacing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBodily Harm\u003c\/i\u003e, Alice Munro’s \u003ci\u003eThe Lives of Girls and Women\u003c\/i\u003e, and Gabrielle Roy’s \u003ci\u003eThe Tin Flute\u003c\/i\u003e, are among Canada’s most well-known. Some of the works discussed present the island as a redemptive retreat, but in most cases the island’s role is ambiguous, ranging from a temporary respite from life’s pressures to a nightmarish trap.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57572469703038,"sku":"NW9780820467924","price":66.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780820467924.jpg?v=1783368020","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/island-motif-in-the-fiction-of-lm-montgo","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
