Inhaltsangabe

The development of Doris Lessing's art from the traditional realism of her early novels to modernist works like «The Golden Notebook» and «Briefing for a Descent Into Hell» has been criticised as escapism. A detailed formal and thematic analysis of three representative novels shows that the modernism of Doris Lessing's later work is a result of the author's radicalized understanding of our collective alienation. Far from indicating a betrayal of her humanistic commitment, it is a measure of the sincerity of this author's concern with the «ancient dream of free man».
