(Angela Carter) ?When I became a feminist in 1968, I felt that I?d come home: the first home I ever had that was feminine. And it was very wild and theatrical and erotic, the early feminism.? (Michèle Roberts) Angela Carter and Michèle Roberts share a keen interest in gender and sexual identity, but many of their topics seem to mark them as opposites: Roberts?s fascination with the impact of religion, motherhood and autobiography on female identity covers areas that Carter shuns in her writings. In reading these two authors parallel and in contrast to each other, this monograph follows a triple objective: it provides a comprehensive critical introduction to the works of Roberts, explores aspects of Carter?s work that have not yet been analyzed sufficiently (religion, motherhood, and masculinity), and uses both authors to explore motifs and strategies of feminist writing. The analyses of both authors? works are supplemented by close readings of a wide range of theoretical perspectives (especially French feminism and psychoanalysis) and concise theoretical outlines of the topics covered (radical feminism, religion, motherhood and fatherhood, masculinity, fairy tales, romances and chick lit, and history and auto/biography). 410 0$aGenus--gender in modern culture ;$v11. 606 $aFeminism in literature 606 $aWomen and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFeminism in literature. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 676 $a823.914 700 $aGruss$b Susanne$0920033 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454352703321 996 $aThe pleasure of the feminist text$92063859 997 $aUNINA
