false 728187 2 Myth and Fairytale in Contemporary Women's Fiction explores contemporary women's rewritings of myth and fairy tale. It examines the nature and role of myth, reviewing existing theories in an attempt to explain the ongoing potency of mythical paradigms in contemporary women's fiction despite the distorted images of gender they frequently present. To illustrate this, the book offers a series of readings of texts by a range of contemporary women writers whose fictions draw on, interrogate, or rework mythic models, including A.S. Byatt, Michele Roberts and Angela Carter. 714389 10 11 2001 Myth and Fairy Tale in Contemporary Women's Fiction total:1|3:1| 1 3 6 0 0 0 false false Sat Nov 07 11:20:32 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 11:20:32 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 11 23:48:43 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 11 23:48:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 19:36:26 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 19:36:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 12:11:22 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 12:11:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 14 13:00:27 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 13:00:30 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Sep 10 19:14:25 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 19:14:25 -0700 2007
