Description
South African writer Nadine Gordimer won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1991. Her seventh novel, "Burger's Daughter" , focuses upon the daughter of a white, communist Afrikaaner hero. Based partly on fact, successively banned and unbanned by the South African authorities, the novel has also become something of a test case for feminist critics of Gordimer's writing. This casebook includes an interview with and an essay by Nadine Gordimer on the novel, classic and recent critical essays, an introduction discussing biographical and historical contexts and the literary reception, and a bibliography.
