Recenzii
The essays are uniformly serious, well researched, clearly written, and impressively innovative. Including 15 illustrations, this book is for those interested in feminism, fairy tales, and, of course, literary theory and women writers.
Discussing a wide range of Carter's fiction, this book explores how cross-cultural semiotics, musicality, visual critique, and sensory materiality animate Carter's pyrotechnic prose. Along with new perspectives on familiar topics, it features exciting studies of folksong, opera, food, and fashion as they inform the poetics of specific Carterian works.
These essays multiply Carter's creative bursts of "flower fire," spreading out from a core of key scholars in a rigorous, yet also powerfully intuitive lighting up of new inroads into her conceptually elusive aesthetics.
This truly pyrotechnic book brings together various qualities of Angela Carter's fiction, exploring its musicality, materiality, performativity, and its visual aspects in a firework-like explosion, and showcasing the intricate web of references, influences and intertexts hidden in her fiction. Assembling chapters by scholars of different disciplines from all over the world, this collection provides new and insightful ways of reading Carter that will undoubtedly interest both her longtime fans and readers who have only just discovered her.
[T]his collection is an excellent addition to Carter scholarship, offering both rich readings of individual works and initiating exciting new directions for future research.
