Overview

This book explores Angela Carter’s creative and critical afterlives as well as the multiple ways in which her work is amenable to being read through current critical and cultural theories. Examining topics as diverse as theatrical adaptations of Carter’s novels, her ‘post-human politics’, magic realism and the inspiration of her work for contemporary writers, the essays in this collection demonstrate Carter’s continuing relevance into the 21st century. This volume will appeal both to scholars and students of contemporary women’s writing, British fiction, critical theory, reception studies, and gender studies.
