β¦ Synopsis
Focusing on questions of intertextuality, authorship and representation, Re-visiting Angela Carteroffers a re-examination of one of the twentieth century's most important British writers. While the introductory essay theorizes the politics of Carter's writing, the individual chapters re-visit her relationship to key literary and cultural influences (e.g. Shakespeare, de Sade, the Gothic, Japan) and illuminate neglected ones (e.g. Jean-Luc Godard, Marcel Proust, Charles Dickens, surrealism). This provocative and timely collection both offers new readings of Carter's opus, and contributes to contemporary critical debates concerning gender, postmodernism and intertextual theory.
