2. 2. The Invention Of Angela Carter

   

   A meticulous literary biography that reconstructs the life and creative persona of a bold, subversive writer, showing how she deliberately fashioned herself through performance and mythmaking and transformed fairy tales, gothic tropes and popular genres into sharply feminist, carnivalesque fictions; drawing on archival material and close readings, it traces her formative experiences, relationships and public battles with critics while situating her work and legacy within late twentieth-century British culture and feminist literary history.
