Description
Bringing together leading international scholars of contemporary fiction and modern women writers, this book provides authoritative new critical readings of Angela Carter's work from a variety of innovative theoretical and disciplinary approaches. Angela Carter: New Critical Readings both evaluates Carter's legacy as feminist provocateur and postmodern stylist, and broaches new ground in considering Carter as, variously, a poet and a naturalist'. Including coverage of Carter's earliest writings and her journalism as well as her more widely studied novels, short stories and dramatic works, the book covers such topics as rescripting the canon, surrealism, and Carter's poetics.
Reviews
Ultimately, the collection is a significant contribution to a growing body of Carter scholarship, which will redirect readers thinking about this extraordinary writer. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers and writers alike. -- D.W. Madden, California State University, Sacramento * CHOICE *
