The third phase starts from twentieth century till now, it presents subsiding trend of the study on The Golden Notebook for British and American scholars. But the academic standpoint becomes more mature than before. Postcolonial London written by John Mceod researches Lessing’s work from the perspective of post-colonialism. And The Golden Notebook: A Study in Humanism by R.P.Mahto attempts to demonstrate the humanitarianism of The Golden Notebook.

Compared with the heat research in the West, the study on Lessing has been long ignored by Chinese scholars. The earliest article was The Theme of Politics and Women in Doris Lessing’s Novels written in 1993 by Li Fuxiang. From then on, domestic critics began to study Lessing’s works and flourished in twenty-first century. There are 112 journals on The Golden Notebook from 1994 to 2012, covering Lili-Wang’s post-modernist analysis of the novel; Jiang Hua and Zhikang-Shi’s analysis of novel from the view of parody; Qingxi-Li’s exposition from the perspective of discourse relations and narrative method. A Study of Doris Lessing’s Art and Philosophy by Lili-Wang is published in 2007, which is the first English monograph in research of Doris Lessing’s art and philosophy. It begins to focus on the integration of the philosophical thinking and the artistic strategy in Lessing’s works. These books and articles, in different way, advance the study on Lessing and her book in China.

Based on previous research, from my point of view，men and women shouldn’t be opposed but complementary. Only a harmonious bisexual relationship is established, can free women realize the true freedom.

All the critical books and articles mentioned above are of important value to the research of Lessing and The Golden Notebook. And the glamour has never faded with the continuing research.
