How are well-known female characters from the Bible represented in late 20th-century novels? In Biblical Women in Contemporary Novels in English, Ingrid Bertrand presents a detailed analysis of biblical rewritings by Roberts, Atwood, Tennant, Diamant and Diski focusing on six different women (Eve, Noah’s wife, Sarah, Bilhah, Dinah and Mary Magdalene). She shows how these heroines give themselves a voice that rests not only on words but also on silences. Exploring the many forms that silence can take, she presents an innovative typology that sheds new light on this profoundly meaningful phenomenon.

Andreï Makine est né à Krasnoïarsk en Sibérie. Son quatrième roman, Le Testament français (1995) lui a valu la reconnaissance internationale. Les auteurs de ce recueil s’attachent à sonder la poétique et la symbolique makiniennes dans des analyses méticuleuses, en se concentrant notamment sur les dix premiers romans. Les approches méthodologiques – psychanalytiques, sociologiques, culturelles, historiques, poético-rhétoriques, interdisciplinaires, musico-littéraires – offrent des angles de lecture jusque-là négligés et ouvrent des pistes inédites de recherche future pour l’œuvre de cet auteur essentiel de la littérature contemporaine française. Le présent ouvrage réunit, en outre, des articles sur les romans encore peu analysés.
