Doris Lessing (Routledge Library Editions: Modern Fiction #21)
by Lorna SageDoris Lessing was one of the most impressive, prolific and vital of twentieth century writers. Her fiction is obsessed with the workings of cultural change and she radically extended the novel’s scope – most famously and influentially in The Golden Notebook – by questioning the realist tradition she inherited and the wider social beliefs about self, sexuality and authority which that tradition symbolized. This study, originally published in 1983, surveys her epic output from her early, African writings to her later experiments with space fiction. It traces her struggles to decentre imaginative life and to erase and to redraw the boundaries of our mental maps in favour of values on the margins of the official culture.
Doris Lessing�s The Golden Notebook After Fifty
by Roberta Rubenstein Alice Ridout Sandra SingerDoris Lessing's The Golden Notebook, ground-breaking in both narrative form and subject matter when it was first published in 1962, encompasses important political and social developments of the mid-twentieth century, from the politics of apartheid in southern Africa to the early stirrings of the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the Cold War and the dissolution of Communism. The twelve essays collected here, prompted by the novel's golden anniversary, encompass a rangeof approaches from critical analyses to appreciative essays by scholars who knew Lessing personally. More than a half-century of chronological distance has prompted new and stimulating geopolitical, autobiographical, theoretical, and aesthetic readings by established and emerging scholars across several generations and nationalities, who offer up-to-date insights for twenty-first century readers of this influential novel.

Doris, vida mía. Cartas
by Gabriela MistralUno de los epistolarios más relevantes de la poesía chilena: las cartas de amor y pasión de Gabriela Mistral a Doris Dana. Doris, vida mía alumbra aspectos de la vida y obra de una de las más grandes intelectuales y poetas: su vida amorosa y su dimensión como lesbiana que por décadas estuvieron ocultas. Unos meses después de recibir el premio Nobel, Gabriela Mistral fue invitada a un homenaje a Barnard College, en Nueva York. En ese auditorio estaba Doris Dana, quien dos años más tarde le escribió la primera carta en torno a la devoción compartida por Thomas Mann. Desde entonces no se separarán más hasta la muerte de Mistral y vivirán una intensa relación que quedó guardada en secreto hasta que el legado de la autora llegó a la Biblioteca Nacional de Chile. En esta nueva selección de cartas, que incluye material inédito y un exhaustivo trabajo de archivo a cargo de Daniela Schutte, el lector tiene ante sí un libro fundamental e imprescindible, que permite redimensionar, releer y observar uno de los ámbitos más íntimos de la poeta, profesora, premio Nobel, diplomática, intelectual, viajera, emigrante y «madre queer de la nación», autora de una obra que no deja de crecer y significarse. “Apasionadas cartas de una mujer a otra mujer donde Gabriela Mistral expresa con ferocidad y dulzura sus angustias, sus celos, su amor, sus aprehensiones y su ternura (…) En esta cuidada selección vuelve a revelarse esa otra dimensión de Mistral que con tanto esmero y durante tanto tiempo se intentó borrar o maquillar con curiosos y anacrónicos eufemismos.” Alia Trabucco, del prólogo de Doris, vida mía
