Journal Article
“Reclaiming” Tradition
2022
Overview
Reviewers and critics of Helen Macdonald’s H Is for Hawk (2014) tend to focus on the text’s treatment of grief and falconry. None has attended to the myriad intertextualities in the memoir. H Is for Hawk is a self-consciously allusive and literary text. Macdonald’s writing imitates and reimagines the rich tradition of writing about human encounters with the wild and personal grief. Books, therefore, play an important role in shaping Macdonald’s experience of bereavement. By tracing her changing relationship to them and the ways in which their tropes are reworked, one gains an insight into Macdonald’s recovery through her search for authentic expression.
