  • The Analysis of Female Consciousness in Alice Munro's Novels
    2020 3rd International Conference on Arts, Linguistics, Literature and Humanities (ICALLH 2020) The Analysis of Female Consciousness in Alice Munro's Novels Haixia Zhang Ningxia Normal University, Guyuan, China Keywords: Alice munro, Novel, Female, Female consciousness Abstract: Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro is an evergreen tree in the Canadian literary world. She began to publish works in the late 1960s, and many of her works have gained worldwide reputation during her more than 50 years of writing career. This article draws the outline of the trajectory of women’s lives in Munro’s novels, analyzes the heroine’s living environment in the works and their relationship with men and nature, and explores the significant contributions that Munro’s literary works have made to the development of female consciousness for more than half a century with positive impact. 1. Introduction Alice Munro in Canada has a high reputation in the international society, it is not only depend on her works and success, but also because of her works with highly overall level, therefore, Alice Munro also became one of the 100 most influential contemporary writers. Under her ceaseless effort, she won the Nobel Prize for literature in 2013, became the 13th female winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, and accepted by more and more people in the world, it is not common in the history of the Nobel Prize for literature, which is out of her work, certainly also of her personal effort. [1] Alice Munro’s works should be undoubtedly with a very high artistic value, but for the thought of female consciousness in her works still remains to be further discussed.

  • "Spelling:" Alice Munro and the Caretaking Daughter
    “SPELLING”: ALICE MUNRO AND THE CARETAKING DAUGHTER Debra Nicholson A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts August 2010 Committee: Dr. Bill Albertini, Advisor Dr. Beth Casey, Emeritus © 2010 Debra Nicholson All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Dr. Bill Albertini, Advisor Alice Munro, the renowned Canadian short story writer, has written, over the course of her long career, no fewer than seventeen stories that feature an ill mother as the primary or tangential theme in a daughter’s narrative. While some critics focus on uncovering autobiographical elements of the stories (Munro’s mother endured early-onset Parkinson’s disease), and others vaguely complain that Munro is merely re-writing the same story again and again, no critic has investigated the range and depth of affect produced by maternal illness proffered in her stories, a topic that appears to be a major concern of Munro’s creative life. Not only is it important to analyze the stories of daughters and their ill mothers because of the topic’s importance to Munro, it is essential to illuminate the texts’ contributions to the intersecting discourses of illness, death, and daughters and mothers. This thesis serves to initiate this critical discussion. An analysis of Munro’s story, “Spelling,” provides fruitful material for the discussion of the discourse of caretaking. I track Rose’s caretaking journey by first discussing her entrapment in the gendered norms of caretaking. Then, I argue that Rose capitulates to the discourse of sacrificial caretaking by desiring to care for Flo in a full-time capacity.

  • Alice Munro, at Home and Abroad: How the Nobel Prize in Literature Affects Book Sales
    BNC RESEARCH Alice Munro, At Home And Abroad: How The Nobel Prize In Literature Affects Book Sales + 12.2013 PREPARED BY BOOKNET CANADA STAFF Alice Munro, At Home And Abroad: How The Nobel Prize In Literature Affects Book Sales December 2013 ALICE MUNRO, AT HOME AND ABROAD: HOW THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE AFFECTS BOOK SALES With publications dating back to 1968, Alice Munro has long been a Canadian literary sweetheart. Throughout her career she has been no stranger to literary awards; she’s taken home the Governor General’s Literary Award (1968, 1978, 1986), the Booker (1980), the Man Booker (2009), and the Giller Prize (1998, 2004), among many others. On October 10, 2013, Canadians were elated to hear that Alice Munro had won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Since the annual award was founded in 1901, it has been awarded to 110 Nobel Laureates, but Munro is the first Canadian—and the 13th woman—ever to win. In order to help publishers ensure they have enough books to meet demand if one of their titles wins an award, BookNet Canada compiles annual literary award studies examining the sales trends in Canada for shortlisted and winning titles. So as soon as the Munro win was announced, the wheels at BookNet started turning. What happens when a Canadian author receives the Nobel Prize in Literature? How much will the sales of their books increase in Canada? And will their sales also increase internationally? To answer these questions, BookNet Canada has joined forces with Nielsen Book to analyze Canadian and international sales data for Alice Munro’s titles.

  • Letting Go with the Mind Dionysus and Medusa in Alice Munro's "Meneseteung"
    Klaus P. Stich Letting Go with the Mind Dionysus and Medusa in Alice Munro's "Meneseteung" I may yet live, as I know others live, To wish in vain to let go with the mind— Of cares, at night, to sleep; but nothing tells me That I need learn to let go with the heart. (from Robert Frost, "Wild Grapes") For the well-tempered reader of Alice Munro's fiction, it would be difficult to overlook her "clowning impulse" (Redekop 159) and penchant for "surprise, complicity and deception" (Heble 18) as well as her general distrust of "final explanations" (Ross Double Lives 87). These char- acteristics are part of her natural inclination toward writing stories that, despite her "masterly control of detail" (Martin 130), retain something she herself calls "rough and unfinished" (Hancock 195). Her choice of words here reflects her reluctance to relinquish her perceptions of the unfinished nature of lived life to the arbitrary authority of words, ideas and narrative constructs.1 Munro prefers to keep her feet close to the ground and to have her observations of the psychological dynamics affecting heart and mind converge into stories of "open secrets," as the title of one of her later collec- tion puts it. Inevitably, it seems to me, such stories demand not only sym- bolic language but also an acceptance of a symbol as "an attempt to elucidate something .. still entirely unknown or still in the process of formation" rather than "a sign that disguises something generally known" (Jung Two Essays 291). Moreover, such stories are inherently receptive to the open secrets and unfinished meanings of myths, including myths of Greek gods and goddesses who actually have more than one identity and whose elusive matriarchal origins have tended to unsettle the traditional, patriarchal configurations of their myths:2 "Of all the Greek gods, Dionysus is the most visible as well as the most elusive.
