Retrieving v from Alice Munro’s The View from the Castle Rock

Abstract

Fiction is the great art of revealing the writer’s society and culture. Thus reading a literary work will enable the readers to be aware of the writer’s period. It is one of the concepts of New Historicism. This paper tries to utilise this concept of New Historicism to read Alice Munro’s autobiographical work The View from the Castle Rock to get the glimpses of Munro’s and her ancestors’ societal history and culture.
