The Grass Is Singing, the famous British female writer Doris Lessing’s maiden work, has drawn much critical attention since its publication in 1950. This novel has been studied from many perspectives at home and abroad, including feminism, psychoanalysis, postcolonialism, spatial criticism, etc. In recent years, more and more scholars have paid attention to the complicated and diverse narration of this novel, but few scholars have studied its polyphonic features. This paper tries to explore the polyphonic features of this novel from its diverse narration and the subjectivity of the female protagonist Mary Turner by applying Bakhtin’s polyphonic theory.
