Nadine Gordimer is one of the most important writers to emerge in the twentieth century. Her anti-Apartheid novel July's People (1981) is a powerful example of resistance writing and continues even now to unsettle easy assumptions about issues of power, race, gender and identity.
This guide to Gordimer's compelling novel offers:
- an accessible introduction to the text and contexts of July's People
- a critical history, surveying the many interpretations of the text from publication to the present
- a selection of new and reprinted critical essays on July's People, providing a range of perspectives on the novel and extending the coverage of key approaches identified in the critical survey
- cross-references between sections of the guide, in order to suggest links between texts, contexts and criticism
- suggestions for further reading.
-
Part of the Routledge Guides to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for all those beginning detailed study of July's People and seeking not only a guide to the novel, but a way through the wealth of contextual and critical material that surrounds Gordimer's text.
