For half a century, Madeleine L'Engle has been cherished by young and old for her classic young adult books, such as A Wrinkle in Time, A Ring of Endless Light, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet and for her 50-plus adult fiction, fantasy, poetry, and spiritual titles. Now in Celebration of L'Engle's 80th birthday, the original Madeleine L'Engle, Suncatcher has been completely updated. In the only analysis of the complete works of this popular and prolific author available, Carole Chase presents an insightful and comprehensive study of L'Engle's writings, her beliefs, and her spiritual vision. Her many fans will be enthusiastic about this updated edition with a foreword by Madeleine L'Engle herself, as well as information on her newest titles.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
It is odd when one is presented with a definitive explanation of an artist and her work before the artist has died and the work can be looked at in all its truth, but that is just what Chase, who teaches literature at Elon College, attempts here. Unfortunately she has chosen to take "not an objective or critical" approach, "but a personal, friendly, appreciative and feminist" one. The result is an overview of the Newbery Medal-winning L'Engle that lacks critical depth and analytic integrity. Even the few interviews that Chase conducted contribute no new insight to L'Engle's work or reveal in any new way the tensions that have informed it. With all that having been said, however, it is equally true that most of L'Engle's fans will, and would, embrace with open arms anything about her, even a book that, like this one, seems premature.
