Dimensions of Madeleine L'Engle

New Critical Approaches
Herausgeber: Bray, Suzanne

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Best known for her Newbery Medal-winning novel A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle (1918-2007) had a long and successful writing career. Her books enjoyed popular acclaim and she was in constant demand to give speeches, write forewords and advise and encourage younger authors. Yet her work--particularly her adult fiction--has been largely ignored by scholars. This collection of new essays gives overdue critical attention to L'Engle's complete body of work, from her familiar young adult fiction to her religious writings, poems and short stories.
