Nadine Gordimer (Routledge Revivals)

In this critical study, first published in 1988 and the first by a woman, Judie Newman discusses all Nadine Gordimer's novels, including A Sport of Nature. Judie Newman places particular emphasis on Gordimer's searching investigation of the relation of gender to genre, and explores other major concerns such as the crisis of liberal values, the nature of historical consciousness, racism, sexual politics, and the psychopathology of power. Her study combines close literary analysis with a wide-ranging exploration of ideas, showing clearly how the artist can contribute to contemporary debate.
