Zusammenfassung: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).
