The invention of Angela Carter : a biography

Gordon, Edmund2017
Books
Angela Carter's life was as rich with incident, as vigorously modern, as unconventional, as dark and ultimately as tragic as anything in her fiction. A writer of extraordinary inventiveness and range, her work stands out from the great mass of modern English fiction for its bawdiness, linguistic zest and its hospitality to the fantastic and the absurd. This is the first full biography of one of the greatest English writers of the twentieth century.
