Description: "This collection of articles approaches Marguerite Yourcenar's oeuvre from a variety of critical perspectives. Each author included in the volume ventures beyond traditional readings of Yourcenar's complex texts, pushing against the boundaries of interpretation that the Belgian-born writer carefully established. The authors' goal is not to pigeonhole Yourcenar, but to interrogate her writing in the hope of enhancing understanding and stimulating further investigation of her wide-ranging works."--Jacket.
