Marian and the Major: Engel's "Elizabeth and the Golden City" - Engel, Marian; Verduyn, Christl

Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to spine extremes; one small dent to front of dust jacket near spine edge; otherwise very minimal wear; Novelist Marian Engel was one of Canadian literature's key figures during the formative years of the 1960s and 1970s, the time period of her final work-in-progress, "Elizabeth and the Golden City." Making this unfinished classic available, Marian and the Major also brings together the story of Major William KIngdom Rains and the compelling fictionalized version that Marian Engel make of his life. Christl Verduyn looks at the novel, the story on which it was based, and the parallels Engel found to her own life, exploring the fascinating relationship between history and literature.
