Reviews

Witty, incisive, and rigorously argued, this book offers a genuinely fresh perspective on the work of Angela Carter by placing it in the context of European Gothic writing by authors such as de Sade, Baudelaire, J.-K. Huysman and those like Poe who, while not European, were heavily influenced by that tradition. Munford skilfully uses images and motifs from Carter's own work (such as dust, chess, the thorny hedge surrounding the castle of Sleeping Beauty) as points of return and to inflect her argument and these lend her own book a beautiful and elegant coherence. -- Professor Avril Horner.
