Changes

Margaret Drabble, ( 1939 – ), novelist, born in Sheffield, educated at Newnham College, [[Cambridge]]. Her early [[novel]]s deal primarily with the dilemma of educated young women caught in the conflicting claims of [[maternity]], [[sexuality]], and [[intellectual]] and [[economic]] aspiration. A Summer Birdcage ( 1963 ) was followed by The Garrick Year ( 1964 ), The Millstone ( 1966 ), Jerusalem the Golden ( 1968 ), The Waterfall ( 1969 ), The Needle's Eye ( 1972 ), The Realms of Gold ( 1975 ), The Ice Age ( 1977 ), and The Middle Ground ( 1980 ). She produced a trilogy of novels—The Radiant Way ( 1987 ), A Natural Curiosity ( 1989 ), and The Gates of Ivory ( 1991 )—which follows the fortunes of three women friends through the social and political changes in Britain in the 1980s. Her later novels have a broader canvas, a more [[irony|ironic]] relationship with traditional narration, and a wider interest in documenting social change. Recent novels include The Witch of Exmoor ( 1996 ), a mordant family chronicle inspired by a premise borrowed from [[John Rawls]] ; The Peppered Moth ( 2001 ), a four‐generation family saga; The Seven Sisters ( 2002 ); The Red Queen ( 2004 ), a transcultural tragi‐comedy set partly in 18th‐cent. Korea; and The Sea Lady ( 2006 ), which dwells on [[evolution]] and reconciliation. Her other works include A Writer's Britain ( 1979 ) and a biography of Angus Wilson ( 1995 ). [[A. S. Byatt]] is her sister, and she is married to M. Holroyd .
