Myth and Intersections of Myth and Gender in Canadian Culture: Margaret Atwood’s Revision of the Odyssey in The Penelopiad
The first part of the article deals with the national myths of Canada. It demonstrates that the long-time supposed lack of myths in Canada may itself be regarded as a myth. After presenting useful meanings of the term myth, the intersections of myth/mythology and gender are considered, both in Canadian culture and in Greek mythology. Linking Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey —the canonized beginnings of Western literature and their foundation on ancient …
Margaret Atwood’s Reception in Canada and the United States: A Comparative Analysis of North American Reviews of The Blind Assassin
Based on a large corpus of reviews from Canada and the USA and taking into account my recent large-scale study of the reception of Margaret Atwood’s earlier novels in both North American countries, this article investigates how the reviewer’s nationality and that of the review’s target audience factor into the reception of a writer’s works.

“The Writer, the Reader, and the Book”: Margaret Atwood on Reviewing in Conversation with Reingard M. Nischik
This interview was conducted in the afternoon of a mild early fall day in a hotel near Regent’s Park in London, UK, on October 2, 2014.

The outcome is a veritably “Atwoodian” interview, insightful and with lots of friendly laughter

The development of literature in Canada with an eye to its multicultural, multiethnic, multilingual nature. From modest colonial beginnings, literature in Canada has arrived at the center stage of world literature. Works by English-Canadian writers -- both established writers such as Margaret Atwood and new talents such as Yann Martel -- make regular appearances on international bestseller lists. French-Canadian literature has also found its own …
The Cambridge Companion to Margaret Atwood
Margaret Atwood's international celebrity has given a new visibility to Canadian literature in English. This Companion provides a comprehensive critical account of Atwood's writing across the wide range of genres within which she has worked for the past forty years, while paying attention to her Canadian cultural context and the multiple dimensions of her celebrity. The main concern is with Atwood the writer, but there is also Atwood the media st…
