Hey /lit/,
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find critical essays of Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace and Robert Browning's Andrea del Sarto, Fra Lippo Lippi etc without the need to pay for them? They have to be citable.

Pic unrelated.

Go to a library, search for books with critical essays.

Also, said library might have a journal database you can search.

Harold Bloom's ROBERT BROWNING: A COLLECTION OF CRITICAL ESSAYS (published Chelsea House) contains the best stuff on Browning you'd need to find.

Also, the Norton Critical Edition of Browning's Poetry contains citeable essays worth reading.

I can't think of where to find essays on Atwood offhand.

Here, I'll just give you essay topics.

Browning's Andrea del Sarto: the narrator's sense of artistic failure is somehow related to the fact that he clearly WANTS his wife to cuckold him. Artistic incapacity linked to erotic incapacity, in the same way that in Browning's "A Grammarian's Funeral", the dead scholar is described as being "dead from the waste down". Is creativity related to sexuality? Browning seems to suggest it. Discuss.

Margaret Atwood: Canada considered as Post-Colonial Literature. Canada is of course a post-colonial culture but nobody reads Atwood like she's Rushdie. Try reading her as a feminist Rushdie. Atwood novels always contain a Canadian protagonist, with an American best friend (more liberated, more crass, gets what she wants) and an English-identified mother or female authority figure (more repressed, finds duty to be a surer goal in life than desire, always cuts down any other woman's ambition). In other words, Atwood's female protagonists ARE the Canadian situation in a nutshell. The fact that in America women make 70 cents to ever dollar a male makes in the marketplace is relevant, when you consider that the Canadian dollar is only worth 70 American cents. In other words, Atwood believes Canada's post-colonial situation to be a precisely feminist situation. Discuss.

I like me. So be it.

The Atwood essay should be a piece of cake, I love her novels, they're like a checklist of the feminist orthodoxy, reassures you that these issues still exist.

Thank you so much! Apologies, my internet broke. <333333

Thanks very much. I've decided to explore how Atwood and Browning both Construct their central characters, focussing on how Browning's personas tend to be unreliable narrators as is Atwood's Grace therefore both Authors utilise other means to further construct character identities etc.
