Submisson or Subversion

More about the book

Angela Carter, one of the prominent contemporary English writers, shows her interest within fairy tales and, more broadly, folklore. Being in "the demythologizing business," Angela Carter brings into question almost all the long-established conventions and traditions and treats them in an innovative, subversive, postmodern way. The writers attempts to show how Carter's subversive mode of writing would be high-lightened through a seemingly submissive Lacanian reading. Those interested in challenging and playful mode of Carter's writing will find the book a worth-reading source.
