| Publisher Description: This study, originally published in 1990, assesses a shift in the presentation of self-consciousness in two pairs of novels by Doris Lessing and Carmen Mart n Gaite: 1) Lessing's The Summer Before the Dark (1973) and Mart n Gaite's Retah las (1974) and 2) Lessing's The Memoirs of a Survivor (1974) and Mart n Gaite's The Back Room (1978). Three major structural divisions facilitate examining implications of the novels for 1) feminism 2) literary narrative and 3) the lives of people-at-large. |
