Seductions in Narrative is a highly original, academic study which
provides a critical discourse in which desire, narrative, and
subjectivity are explored. Through the critical reading of two
novels by contemporary English authors, Angela Carter and Jeanette
Winterson, the book cleverly assesses the ways in which desire
allows the subject to imagine an alternative, utopian location
where a narrative of the self, in all its multiplicity and
ambiguity, can be effected. This book is unique as general studies
on these issues tend to focus on the literature produced over the
nineteenth century, but not on contemporary literature. The pieces
which examine desire and narrative in contemporary novels tend to
do so in the work of post-colonial authors. Specific works on the
production of Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson also tend to
focus on a somewhat close reading of their novels, but do not make
use of their fiction in order to debate specific, poststructuralist
issues, as this book successfully undertakes.
