Doris Lessings mångfasetterade verk är högaktuellt och angeläget i vår tid. Med ämnen som motsättningar mellan kvinnor och män, barns utsatta situation, rasism, terrorism och miljöförstöring, och med ett avancerat litterärt formspråk, engagerar och utmanar hennes författarskap och tvingar till eftertanke - oavsett om man håller med om den världsbild och de problemlösningar som framträder eller inte. Texterna i denna antologi gör nedslag i Lessings omfattande produktion - från debuten med Gräset sjunger (1950) till självbiografierna Under huden och Vandra i skugga på 1990-talet - och kan förhoppningsvis såväl locka nya läsare till Lessings romaner, som få hennes tidigare beundrare att hitta nya infallsvinklar till välbekanta verk. Medverkande: Jenny Bonnevier, Anna Cavallin, Anneli Dufva, Stefan Helgesson, Birgitta Holm, Ingrid Holmquist, Ulrika Knutson, Ulrika Milles, Maria Olaussen. Redaktör för boken är Ingrid Holmquist, professor emerita i genusvetenskap, fil.dr. i engelska. Medredaktör är Anna Cavallin, doktorand i litteraturvetenskap.

In this first study of Doris Lessing's science fiction, Fishburn devotes a chapter to each of Lessing's seven novels. Her major argument is that Lessing uses these novels to change our perception of reality by describing worlds that are simultaneously similar to and different from our own. Of particular importance is the fact that each narrator, by functioning as an intermediary or guide-leader, helps skeptical readers to experience the alien worlds of Lessing's imagination. As she traces the development of these seven narrators, Fishburn shows how they eventually fulfill the role of the idealized author Lessing described in The Small Personal Voice. In examining how these texts challenge us to change, Fishburn discusses the influence of Marxist and Sufi thought on Lessing and also points out the striking similarity betwen Lessing's philosophy of wholeness and the discoveries of modern physics.

The phenomenon of Doris Lessing's global reputation and readership is addressed for the first time in In Pursuit of Doris Lessing through a series of essays that also provide a provocative overview of Lessing's long career from The Grass Is Singing, the first of a series of African and woman-centered politically radical works, to her latest galactic and politically conservative works. Nine different Lessings emerge from these essays, forcing us to question received propositions about the universality of literature and the stability of the text and uncovering and recovering in the process the pungent, variable, controversial Lessing who has been and remains as international and transcultural as she is African and English.

This book focuses on Doris Lessing’s social and political reappraisal of the family. It looks at how her fiction both critiques traditional patriarchal family structures and explores alternative and non-normative configurations of family. The continuation of traditional ideas about family suggests that Lessing’s fiction remains meaningful and relevant today. Kinship Reimagined: Family in Doris Lessing’s Fiction is a thoroughly researched, original and interesting contribution to both the study of Doris Lessing’s work and the study of the family, as it is represented in twentieth-century fiction. Senturk’s argument – that Lessing’s work develops from a critique of the family towards a resignification of it – is clearly argued, well structured, and engaging to read. Susan Watkins, Professor in Cultural Studies and Humanities, Leeds Beckett University, UK Selcuk Senturk’s monograph is a valuable contribution to the study of one of the twentieth century’s most important authors. Senturk analyzes with great insight the ways that Doris Lessing first resisted, then reconsidered, and finally reimagined family roles and kinship structures, as well as gender norms, during her prolific career. In Senturk’s work, the family emerges as not just a theme in Lessing’s writings but a key critical concept for understanding their import. Drawing expertly on such current critical discourses as feminism and eco-criticism, Senturk makes clear the enduring relevance of Lessing’s novels, showing how they continue to speak to the urgent problems of our time. Dr Cornelius Collins, Co-editor in Chief in Doris Lessing Studies, Fordham University, USA. Selcuk Senturk provides informed, systematic interpretation of the Western family across the corpus of Lessing’s novels. This insightful, sustained analysis reaches original and revealing conclusions, especially concerning lesser studied works, such as Mara and Dann and The Sweetest Dream.

Comparison of Doris Lessing's 'to Room 19' and Fay Weldon's 'Weekend'

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 2,5, Universit t Rostock (Institut f r Anglistik), 4 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The short stories "To Room 19" by Doris Lessing and "Weekend" by Fay Weldon present two dissimilar woman who have problems to handle their lives in their families. As the quotation above shows, they have to take over a lot of different roles. This is sometimes very hard and demands a lot from the women. In my research paper I analyse what the problems in these two families are and how they have arisen. Moreover I have a detailed look at the attempts the characters make in both stories to solve these problems. Of course I also take into my analysis some theoretical questions of narrative fiction. An extensive comparison of the results I have made in both stories makes up the end of my paper.
