Praise for the first edition: 'The first edition of Howells' Margaret Atwood, published in 1996, is among the most widely cited books in the vast field of Atwood criticism. It has become the standard introduction to Atwood for undergraduates and postgraduates, since the comprehensive coverage of Atwood's novels, together with the book's accessible style and coherent structure, have ensured its appeal to students. Howells' detailed and influential close readings, and her judicious selections from secondary material in the field, have made the book very valuable to postdoctoral researchers also.' - Faye Hammill, British Journal of Canadian Studies Praise for the second edition: 'This book should be recommended to all students seeking an introduction to Atwood's work and it will provide new perspectives for researchers who benefited from the first edition at an earlier stage in their careers.' - Faye Hammill, British Journal of Canadian Studies
