Angela Carter's writings have been a source of pleasure, puzzlement and controversy ever since she was first published in the 1960s. Until her death in 1992 she was one of Britain's most exciting contemporary authors, particularly with her fantastical fictions and her feminist political essays on sex, gender and class. This collection of literary critical studies, from the Macmillan Casebook Series, provides a selection from the many different responses which her works have evoked over the past twenty years. Together they explore most of Carter's major writings and demonstrate a variety of feminist theoretical approaches.
