Margaret Moan Rowe

Red Globe Press

nidottu
Through close readings of Doris Lessing's novels from The Grass is Singing to The Fifth Child, Margaret Moan Rowe maps many of the literary and cultural negotiations that make Doris Lessing both a maverick and a mainstream novelist. Examining the pull of paternal and maternal biographical and literary identification in Lessing, Rowe relates them to the tensions between the ordinary and the visionary in her fiction.

Doris Lessing and Sufi Equilibrium

Doris Lessing and Sufi Equilibrium

S. Fahim

Palgrave Macmillan
1994
sidottu
The purpose of this study is to examine the rationale of Doris Lessing's development from Classical Realism to mysticism and forms of science fiction and to consider the unifying motifs that appear throughout her novels in her consistent search for Sufi Equilibrium. The four novels selected in this study represent significant stages in Lessing's work. Chapter one focuses on The Grass is Singing, which represents the author's early traditionally realistic writing, to show how far the preoccupations of Lessing's later novels find expression in this early work. Chapter two studies The Golden Notebook, which marks a turning point in formal structure in Lessing's canon and is selected as evidence of her interest in Sufism at that early stage. Chapter three concentrates on the study of The Memoirs of a Survivor, which has elicited a comparatively limited amount of criticism but which proves to be a major achievement when brought into line with Sufi methods of writing. Chapter four considers Lessing's science fiction series, 'Canopus in Argos', tracing sources from Oriental literature - a key which unlocks many areas of obscurity.

Doris 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.

The Complete Works of Doris Ellen Eisen: Volume II contains three children's stories that were written and illustrated for my grandchildren. All illustrations are original lithographs. Many of the lithographs are printed in full color, but some of the lithographs are hand-colored. Each story is individually summarized as follows: "Before the Night Became the Day" is the story of two little princess sisters who tiptoe out of their home to go on an adventure before their mother has gotten up. They are followed by their pug dog Newton, who is actually a very good babysitter. When a storm comes up the girls know they must get home quickly. The story is dream like and the full-color lithographs are meant to be magical. Whether the adventure is real or just a dream is not really defined. "Too Many Moons" is the story of a little girl who believes her success comes from a magical good luck charm she carries in her pocket. When she misplaces the charm she is frightened, but success comes to her because of her own efforts. The story is about understanding that success is often determined by feeling confident and persisting. Sometimes magical thinking can give us a boost, but we determine or own fate. All the illustrations are hand-colored lithographs. "Zach Goes Fast" is a simple story of a little boy who likes to go fast all the time. Sometimes Zach falls down as he races from place to place, but he always persists and picks himself up, and always enjoys his adventures. All of these illustrations are full-color lithographs, and some have hand coloring as well.

The Collected Works of Doris Ellen Eisen

The Collected Works of Doris Ellen Eisen is exactly that. It is a compendium of most of my prints and many of my paintings done over the last 40 years. The book is essentially a memoir, an autobiography of my life, mostly in images with a few words. Artists generally sort out their feelings and ideas with pictures, not words. When my art work was assembled and arranged in chronological order by a friend, who is both a fine artist and and a collector of my works, I was surprised to see how honest I had been about about the tragedies and joys that had assaulted me over the decades. I was also pleased see how much my skills in printmaking had grown over the years. I realized that while my prints were highly personal, the images were universal. For example, the etching of a distant angry teenager, my granddaughter, on the cover, was purchased by a women who thought that the etching was all about her own daughter. I believe all good art is honest art, and skillful art. I hope that you enjoy this book, and see the universality of it, and learn a little bit about printmaking along the way.

This study examines the writing career of the respected and prolific novelist Doris Lessing, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2007 and has recently published what she has announced will be her final novel. Whereas earlier assessments have focused on Lessing’s relationship with feminism and the impact of her 1962 novel, The Golden Notebook, this book argues that Lessing's writing was formed by her experiences of the colonial encounter; it makes use of postcolonial theory and criticism to examine Lessing's continued interest in ideas of nation, empire, gender and race and the connections between them.The book examines the entire range of her writing, including her most recent fiction and non-fiction, which have been comparatively neglected. The book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of Doris Lessing’s work as well as the general reader who enjoys her writing. This is the first significant book-length critical evaluation in ten years.

Elizabeth Maslen

LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY PRESS
2014
nidottu
This new edition of Elizabeth Maslen's successful study covers the full range of Doris Lessing's work and explores in detail both its form and content. From The Grass is Singing (1950) through to Alfred and Emily (2008) her main concerns are shown to have a remarkable continuity, both in her commitment to political and cultural issues and in her explorations of inner space. Her experiments with form are closely analysed, and her bold exposure of jargon, cliché, and the manipulative power of language is demonstrated. While she can be seen as part of the great diasporaic influx that followed World War Two her experimentations with form blend in with the explorations of realism taking place in much British fiction from the early years of the twentieth century. This is a concise, accessible, but scholarly book, offering both perceptive critical insights and a valuable up-to-date bibliography.

An omnibus of two of Doris Stokes' extremely successful books. VOICES IN MY EAR was originally published by Futura in 1980 and immediately became a bestseller. MORE VOICES IN MY EAR in 1981. We still get many telephone calls and letters asking where the books can be obtained. Doris Stokes was a celebrated medium who confounded sceptics by the uncanny accuracy of her readings. In Australia she filled the Sydney Opera House and was mobbed in the streets. In America 'Charlie's Angels' was moved from its primetime slot to make way for her. In Britain she filled the Albert Hall, and radio phone-ins caused blocked lines and an avalanche of mail. Doris Stokes possessed an amazing gift - exceptional psychic powers that over the years of her extraordinary life brought joy and comfort to thousands of people.

Long neglected by the academic world because of her rejection of belletristic values and resistance to convenient literary taxonomy, Doris Lessing has nonetheless built an international following of serious, dedicated readers. Acknowledging the difficulties posed by the multiple dimensions of Lessing's work, Kaplan and Rose have gathered eleven essays that address her artistic, philosophical, political, and psychological complexity, and so provide a welcome introduction to the extraordinary depth and diversity of this important contemporary novelist. Lessing has been described as an "alchemical" writer, in that her work is directed toward changing people's lives and perceptions rather than simply recording experience. Accordingly, the contributors examine her various postures and tactics for the purpose of discovering how the alchemical elements inform her various personae. Frederick C. Stern discusses Lessing's commitment to radical humanist thought, while Carey Kaplan examines how Lessing's imperialist past has shaped her futuristic fiction. Elizabeth Abel offers a feminist interpretation of the pattern of brother-sister incest in Lessing's work, showing how Lessing has established Antigone as a female alternative to the Oedipal myth of male incest. Particularly insightful is Eve Bertelsen's report of her interview with Lessing, demonstrating how Lessing's often evasive style of adversarial dialogue works in concert with her refusal to be conveniently pigeonholed by academic analysis. For those readers new to her work, Doris Lessing: The Alchemy of Survival will serve as a useful introduction to Lessing's concerns and techniques. Those who have long admired her writing will find in this collection new keys to understanding Lessing's philosophical, political, and psychological complexity.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Doris Duke was one of the few Western collectors pursuing Thai artworks, and in 1961 she established the Foundation for Southeast Asian Art and Culture to increase Western recognition and appreciation of these works. By 1964 Miss Duke had acquired roughly 2,000 diverse pieces of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century art primarily from Thailand, Burma, and Laos, ranging from textiles, household furnishings, and jewelry to teak houses and massive statues. She began to display her collection in 1972 at Duke Farms, her large New Jersey estate, and she continued to travel and collect widely in Southeast Asia throughout that decade. Most of the work found in SEAAC is from Thailand, and Doris Duke strongly believed in the preservation of Thai art as a reflection of the people and culture from which it emerged. She worked for much of her life toward finding an effective way to share her knowledge and enthusiasm. Doris Duke: The Southeast Asian Art Collection honors her wish to bring greater public and scholarly attention to the excellent works that she gathered. In addition, this beautiful book acknowledges the collection as an impressive whole before its dispersion to several major museums.

This is an edited collection offering up-to-date critical coverage of a wide range of Lessing's work. Despite winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, Doris Lessing has received relatively little critical attention. One of the reasons for this is that Lessing has spent much of her lifetime and her long published writing career crossing both national and ideological borders. This essay collection reflects and explores the incredible variety of Lessing's border crossings and positions her writing in its various social and cultural contexts. Lessing crosses literal national borders in her life and work, but more controversial have been her crossings of genre borders into sci-fi and 'space fiction', and her crossing of ideological borders such as moving into and out of the Communist Party and from a colonial into a post-colonial world. This timely collection also considers a number of the most interesting recent critical and theoretical approaches to Lessing's writing, including work on maternity and abjection in relation to "The Fifth Child" and "The Grass is Singing", eco-criticism in Lessing's 'Ifrakan' novels, and postcolonial re-writings of landscape in her African Stories.
