Writing Grief

Margaret Laurence and the Work of Mourning

Christian Riegel (Author)

As an important study of one aspect of Laurence's oeuvre, Writing Grief not only illustrates how Laurence's own preoccupations with mourning are figured, but also how different ways of working through grief result in renewed potential for consolation and connection, and "a renewed definition of self."
