	Angela Carter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Angela Carter (May 8, 1940[1] – February 16, 1992) was an English novelist and journalist, known for her post-feminist magical realist and science fiction works.
		Born Angela Olive Stalker in Eastbourne, in 1940, Carter was evacuated as a child to live in Yorkshire to stay with her maternal grandmother.
		Carter’s writings show the influence of her mother who was a great literary influence on her daughter.

	Wise Children - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The book was Carter's last publication and along with Nights at the Circus marks a far more down-to-earth brand of storytelling, which, unlike her previous, more surreal and subversive novels, won her widespread recognition.
		Angela Carter is rumoured to have written this novel shortly after being diagnosed with cancer.
		Angela Carter used the term "wise children" in many of her other novels – the term occurs in The Bloody Chamber and Nights at the Circus.

	Nicoletta Vallorani- The Body of the City: Angela Carter’s The Passion of the New Eve
		As a metaphor, therefore, the city occupies a crucial juncture in Carter’s imagination and tends to become, as in Nights at the Circus, "a city built of hybris, imagination and desire, as we are ourselves, as we ought to be" (12).
		Carter refers to a literary topos which is to be considered as typical and recurring: "New York—that most mythical of cities—tends to emerge in recent literature as hellish, or at any rate murderous" (Oates, 30).
		Angela Carter’s Passion of New Eve represents, in relation to this particular perspective, an original and innovative reconfiguration of characteristic female and/or feminist motifs, such as the representation of urban technological space, the idea of a gynocratic community, and the sociological implications of male power in society.

	Angela Carter
		Angela Carter was born in Eastbourne, Sussex, the daughter of a journalist.
		In 1987 Carter was called in New Socialist the "high-priestess of post-graduate porn." WISE CHILDREN (1991), her last novel, focused on the female members of a theatrical family.
		Carter often wrote as if she was a fearless tourist examining oddities of the Western culture, and asked such unfeigned questions as ''why is a nice girl like Simone [Beauvoir] wasting her time sucking up to.

	Marvels & Tales: Journal of Fairy-Tale Studies
		This essay describes the cerebral pleasure and liberation Angela Carter found in the fairy tale, and its transformational effect on her oeuvre, by drawing a comparison (as she did) with the form's significance for Italo Calvino.
		Carter's Bloody Chamber tales were written while she was re-reading Sade, and they are read here in that light, as a cruelly self-conscious anatomy of the spell cast on women, including women writers, by the enchantment of passivity.

	Scriptorium - Angela Carter
		I fell in love with Angela Carter's writing only a year ago, but she has taught me so much in that brief span.
		It was the beginning of an anxiety that would never end, except with the deaths of either or both; and anxiety is the beginning of conscience, which is the parent of the soul but is not compatible with innocence.
		Angela Carter is dead and I really feel as if I have lost someone close to me, a comrade I counted on to outlast me so that I would be able to read her works long into my own twilight years.

	Review Articles: November 1999
		Angela Carter's fiction is by turns grotesque (The Passion of New Eve [1977]) and beguiling ("The Kitchen Child" [1979]), affably forthcoming (Wise Children [1991]) and ascetically opaque (The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr. Hoffman [1972]).
		Carter was born in 1940 and died in 1992.
		Carter lifts from the Bible (evidently) the desert, the bride, the groom, the trope of captivity, and the utopian view of a new birth (new society).

	Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus
		Carter brilliantly juxtaposes the exit from the circus of the dead tigress and of Fevvers on her way to the Grand Duke: "At the courtyard gate, a glamorous droshky stood ready to receive her, behind the melancholy van from the knacker's yard.
		However much Carter claims, both within the text and in her comments about the ending, to be inviting the reader to become a producer rather than a consumer of the text, the fact remains that she continues to exercize tight if inconspicuous control of the narrative throughout its duration.
		Carter is going to considerable trouble to focus our attention on the artificiality of this character, clothed like a scarecrow (to frighten us) and given seemingly human qualities by a voice produced, like an organ's, by means of bellows, and by emotions (will and desire) that mechanistically animate her from within.

	Scriptorium - Angela Carter
		Angela Carter's life – the background of social mobility, the teenage anorexia, the education and self-education, the early marriage and divorce, the role-playing and shape-shifting, the travels, the choice of a man much younger, the baby in her forties – is the story of someone walking a tightrope.
		Carter's description of the unabashedly male-dominated Japanese culture ("In the department store there was a rack of dresses labeled 'For young and cute girls only.'") serves as a devastating backdrop to a discussion of a relationship rather than a plotted story in the conventional sense.
		Carter's favorite fairy tale in The Virago Book of Fairy Tales, which she edited, was the Russian riddle story, "The Wise Little Girl," "in which the tsar asks [the heroine] for the impossible and she delivers it without batting an eyelid."(31) Perhaps a good description of Angela Carter as well.

	Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop - dramatization by Bryony Lavery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Angela Carter, explains her literary executor Susannah Clapp "was an enthusiastic investigator of the oral tradition - in fairy tales and elsewhere.
		Carter’s writing is very often defined by a dreamscape in which boundaries are blurred between the lived realities of physical and social transformation and speculative visualizations of the vagaries of the psyche.
		While this allows her to include much of Carter’s original prose (thereby capturing its rhythm and cadence as well as its sentiment), it also explains the tone of the piece on the whole.

	Living in the Present; Tense switching in Angela Carter's stories
		It may be, then, that a part of the difficulty that some have with Carter comes from the fact that she worked on the permeability of a particularly feminine sector of the cultural frontier.
		Carter here carries the reader from the Past of 'had he been', through the distant or remote modal 'would' into the present of 'is'.
		Carter's investigations of the frontiers between Art and art, or Culture and culture, is - in these tales - tied up with the way she uses tenses.

		This revised edition has lost none of Angela Carter's haunting power to evoke the ebb of the 1960s, and includes an afterword, which describes the progress of the survivors into the anguish of middle age.
		Angela Carter, in this bohemian novella, presents a contemporary love story in which the central characters are locked in a battle, the weapons of which are control and understanding.
		Carter explores the notion of identity and ambiguity as she weaves her characters into an ever-more complicated tale of ambivalence and reliance, she poses the question, "In a relationship, where does one being end and the other begin, what happens to the individuals who become co-dependant?".

	Living in the Present; Tense Switching in Angela Carter's stories (longer version)
		Carter is not, of course, alone in the high frequency with which she uses the Present Tense.
		What is peculiar to Carter's writing in the stories under analysis here is not simply the number of times she uses the Present, but the way in which she switches from the Present to the Past and back again.
		Carter uses Direct Speech, as we have seen, relatively sparingly and often enough in an ambiguous way which leaves the reader in some doubt as to whether, within the logic of the story itself, any communication has in fact taken place.

		Carter, who is the author of seven previous novels and two collections of short stories, might have remembered that at the circus, or in a book, the real trick is to quit while you're ahead, to get off stage with the audience begging for more.
		Carter's first success in {this book}, a success she sustains throughout,is to make us believe in a female central character who hatched out of a swan's egg and has wings.
		Carter describes a localeas exotic to the traditional reader as her women are to Walser and, by implication, all men; and she undercuts accepted Western history as she goes.

		Carter's prose is dense and precise, intensive rather than expansive, but the images keep coming, and if anything, one can feel swamped in the flood of dreams, but in a satisfying way.
		Really, to say Carter evokes Burroughs or any other author may convey a reader's subjective impression, but Carter is on her own trip, a protracted journey through history and psyche, and an examination of the sensual magic of words and imagination made manifest in miraculous ambiguity and ambivalent sexuality.
		Angela Carter's neo-Swiftian tale of Desiderio and his search for Doctor Hoffman is oftentimes so brilliant that it is mind numbing.

	Angela Carter The passion of New Eve Reviewed by Serena Trowbridge
		Angela Carter's fiction has been described in the terms of many genres, from magic realism to Gothic and feminism.
		In a rapid succession of events, Evelyn is overtaken by a strange tribe of women in the desert, and in a bizarre twist of the most unlikely kind of science fiction, he becomes his own fantasy woman.
		Through the regeneration of the "New Eve", Carter explores gender construction and reconstruction, as the misogynistic man becomes a "first woman" in an entirely unexpected manner, and explores an inverted Oedipus complex in which the man becomes his mother and the object of his own desire.

		Carter's preoccupation with the self as performer and what she called "the Ludic Game" was a theme in all her work, one which reaches a spectacular climax in Nights at the Circus.
		She is a busty bottle blonde, a goddess, a fallen angel, a bird woman and an enchantress, one who captures the heart of a world-weary journalist on a mission to expose her as a fake.
		She got to know Angela Carter while living nearby in Balham; when she took her first baby along to show her, the two writers became friends.
