The Emergence of the Archaic in Margaret Drabble’s the Radiant Way and a Natural Curiosity
By: Amalia Mărăşescu
Abstract
Margaret Drabble’s novels are set in contemporary England and deal with contemporary issues, but still contain reminiscences of an archaic mentality. The paper will discuss several such reminiscences, like the myth of the good savage, the nostalgia for the lost paradise or the references to the archetype of the Creation.
