<span><p><span>In this critical collection, well-known Atwood scholars offer original readings and critical re-evaluations of three Atwood masterpieces—</span><span>The Robber Bride, The Blind Assassin</span><span>, and </span><span>Oryx and Crake</span><span>. Providing new critical assessments of Atwood's novels in language that is both lively and accessible, </span><span>Margaret Atwood</span><span> reveals not only Atwood's ongoing and evolving engagement with the issues that have long preoccupied her—ranging from the power politics of human relationships to a concern with human rights and the global environment—but also her increasing formal complexity as a novelist. If Atwood is a novelist who is part trickster, illusionist and con-artist, as she has often described herself, she is also, as the essays in this critical collection show, an author-ethicist with a finely honed sense of moral responsibility.</span></p></span>
