Now a standard work in its field, Guilt and Glory is the first scholarly study to emphasize the ethical concerns of Margaret Drabble as a novelist, as well as the imagery and symbolism of some of her work.

A modernist poetry collection, rich in images, and sometimes with a feminist slant. It has received wonderful reviews.

A collection of modernist poetry written in English. The book is divided into three sections called "Portraits", "Seasons", and "Crossings", the first section being the largest. The "portraits" depict people: real (contemporary or historical); imagined/literary; and, in one case, artificial. But the people include angels. Also some colours are portrayed. In addition, there is a portrait of a botanic species, the glacier crowfoot. The seasons vary; there are the seasons of the year, and those of one's life, including its close relationships. The third section, "Crossings", deals with crossings in geographic and/or spiritual senses.
