  • Angela Carter
    Aidan Day / Aidan Professor Day
    This full scale study discusses Angela Carter’s fiction in chronological order, and notes that although her themes are fairly consistent throughout her work, consistency of theme is not the same as repetition. The new angles and emphases that develop are partly from Carter’s immersion in the changing intellectual debates of the times and, concurrently, arise from the reading sh...
