The Red Shoes: Margaret Atwood Starting Out

by Rosemary Sullivan

A signed first edition, first printing of The Red Shoes: Margaret Atwood Starting Out by Rosemary Sullivan, published by HarperFlamingo Canada in 1998. Rosemary Sullivan has flat signed the title page, with no visible dedication or personalization.

This literary biography examines Margaret Atwood's development as a writer, concentrating on her childhood, education, early relationships and emergence within Canadian literature. Sullivan follows Atwood's formative years through the late 1970s, connecting the circumstances of her life with the growth of the distinctive literary career behind works including The Edible Woman, Power Politics and Surfacing. The volume includes black-and-white photographic plates, references and an index.

Sullivan is a Governor General's Award-winning Canadian biographer, and this book offers a substantial portrait of Atwood's early creative life and cultural setting. This copy is especially appealing as a signed first printing of the Canadian hardcover edition.

The hardcover and dust jacket are in Very Good condition. The dust jacket is now protected with clear removable plastic. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual copy offered.
