Romanticism Features In Canadian Postmodern Feminist Metafiction: A Study Of Margaret Laurence's The Diviners And Alice Munro's Lives Of Girls And Women

Abstract

The present paper analyzes aesthetics of romanticism in the Canadian postmodern feminist narrative focusing on Margaret Laurence's The Diviners and Alice Munro's Lives of Girls and Women. The quest for selfhood, the omnipresence of nature and the Gothic and the godlike artist image indicate the presence of romantic aesthetics in the postmodern kunstlerroman. The revival of aesthetics of romanticism has thus contributed to the refreshment of the postmodern narrative.
