I am currently reading The Bloody Chamber (and other stories) By Angela Carter for an A2 level short literature project. I have to talk about it's Gothic nature as well as past and present audiences.
I was hoping people could share their thoughts and opinions and/or direct me to any critics and essays relating to Carter and her short stories.
Thanks in advance
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.
i'm aslo doing Bloody Chamber this year as part of my A2 coursework. I just started reading it but in the next few days i should be able to help you out with some ideas and opinions.
If you like Carter's modern gothic style; you MUST
read The Magic Toyshop. Weird, disturbing, dark and funny. She also wrote a great revisionist telling of Little Red Riding Hood called [I]In The [/I]Company Of Wolves. Which casts the wolf as a sexual predator.
