Description

This Companion is a thorough introduction to the writings of the Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro. Uniting the talents of distinguished creative writers and noted academics, David Staines has put together a comprehensive, exploratory account of Munro's biography, her position as a feminist, her evocation of life in small-town Ontario, her non-fictional writings as well as her short stories, and her artistic achievement. Considering a wide range of topics – including Munro's style, life writing, her personal development, and her use of Greek myths, Celtic ballads, Norse sagas, and popular songs – this volume will appeal to keen readers of Munro's fiction as well as students and scholars of literature and Canadian and gender studies.

A scholar of medieval culture and literature, as well as Canadian culture and literature, he has authored or edited more than fifteen books, including The Canadian Imagination: Dimensions of a Literary Culture, Tennyson's Camelot: The Idylls of the King and its Medieval Sources, and The Letters of Stephen Leacock.
