In this critical collection, well-known Atwood scholars offer original readings and critical re-evaluations of three Atwood masterpieces-The Robber Bride, The Blind Assassin, and Oryx and
Crake. Providing new critical assessments of Atwood's novels in language that is both lively and accessible,�Margaret Atwood reveals not only Atwood's ongoing and evolving engagement with the
issues that have long preoccupied her-ranging from the power politics of human relationships to a concern with human rights and the global environment-but also her increasing formal complexity
as a novelist. If Atwood is a novelist who is part trickster, illusionist and con-artist, as she has often described herself, she is also, as the essays in this critical collection show, an
author-ethicist with a finely honed sense of moral responsibility.
