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.
