Novels: Refocusing the Lens (H313-1)

H – Literature

When women writers began adapting the literary genres, they focused on topics unexamined by others, adopting a new perspective on the novel tradition. Perhaps they are shifting perspective again, this time aiming the literary camera lens on themselves. We take a look at that, but also discuss other novels where the lens has been refocused, including mysteries, historical novels and a literary classic.
