| Description | In Angela Carter's work the image of the body is constructed around the tension between a poststructuralist notion of gender fluidity and a feminist reclaiming of the female body as a source of pleasure and power. This study examines the body politics in the last four novels Carter wrote between the seventies and the nineties: The infernal desire machines, The passion of New Eve, Nights at the Circus and Wise children. Drawing on feminist and poststructuralist theory, it traces a development in Carter's fiction that moves from the pessimistic negation of a self-determined female corporeality to the assertion of the female body as a powerful site of alterity. |
