Abstract

The Diviners, written by Canadian novelist Margaret Laurence, is the last of her five Manawaka novels and represents the culmination of all the trends shown throughout the Manawaka cycle. It furthers Laurence’s emphasis on self-empowerment for women, especially the female artist, and intensifies her use of innovative narrative strategies. It is patterned as a pilgrimage along epic lines and features a protagonist and writer, Morag Gunn, and her quest for identity. Through a spiritual journey, Morag Gunn explores herself as a woman, a mother, and a writer in her memories of the past and her vision of the future.
