Angela Carter: New Critical Readings Summary

Angela Carter: New Critical Readings by Sonya Andermahr (University of Northampton, Northampton)

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.

Angela Carter: New Critical Readings Reviews

Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers and writers alike. -- D.W. Madden, California State University, Sacramento * CHOICE *
