The Handmaid's Tale


Book Description

An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.




The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism: Volume 9, Twentieth-Century Historical, Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives


Book Description

This ninth volume in The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism presents a wide-ranging survey of developments in literary criticism and theory during the last century. Drawing on the combined expertise of a large team of specialist scholars, it offers an authoritative account of the various movements of thought that have made the late twentieth century such a richly productive period in the history of criticism. The aim has been to cover developments which have had greatest impact on the academic study of literature, along with background chapters that place those movements in a broader, intellectual, national and socio-cultural perspective. In comparison with Volumes Seven and Eight, also devoted to twentieth-century developments, there is marked emphasis on the rethinking of historical and philosophical approaches, which have emerged, especially during the past two decades, as among the most challenging areas of debate.

The British Critic, Vol. 9


Book Description

Excerpt from The British Critic, Vol. 9: A New Review, for January, February, March, April, May, and June, 1979 If he had not been in an error, he would have written lers. The Five Dgfeourfes publifhed by M. Irelandi, of Croydon, will not be thrown afide by any reader, as the work of an author, either unin formed, or deficient in talents; they will rather be received as an earneft of fomething more excellent, which may be expeeted when the powers of the writer {hall be feconded by the choice of a more fertile fubjee't. Mr. Simeon's edition of Claude on tbe Compofiiz'on of a Sermon, with the arguments of dif courfes annexed, which he calls Skeletom, forms a work of great theological merit and utility: the ex prefiion of fkeletons has been_ridiculed, and not without reafon; but the merit of the work is per fe tly diftinft from any objeetions that may affee't the name. It is, as we mentioned, a work of the fame kind as Beveridge's Thefaurus Theologicus, but exe cuted with more care.
