The Empsom Lectures,named after the great scholar and literary critic Sir William Empson (1906-84),have been established by the University of Cambridge as a series designed to address topics of broad literary and cultural interest.Sponsored jointly by the Faculty of English and Cambridge University Press,the series provides a unique forum for distinguished writers and scholars of international reputation to explore wide-ranging literary-cultural themes in an accessible manner. Margaret Atwood's wide and eclectic reference to other writers,living and dead,is balanced by anecdotes from her own experiences as a writer, both in Canada and on the international scene. The lightness of her touch is underlined by a seriousness about the purpose and the pleasures of writing,and by a deep familiarity with the myths and traditions of western literature.
