This book provides a comprehensive account and critical analysis of
the literary career of Pat Barker. It offers readings of Barker's
innovations in narrative form, her revisionist perspectives on
history, class and gender, and her preoccupation with themes of
trauma, haunting and terror. It also analyses the reasons for her
success and significance as a novelist. The chapters draw on
contemporary theories of critical realism, gender and social
identities, memory and narrative, in order to outline the debates
with which Barker's work has consistently engaged. Brannigan argues
that Barker is one of the most important writers in modern English
literary history. She is principally renowned and widely acclaimed
for her 'Regeneration' trilogy, the last volume of which, 'The
Ghost Road', won the Booker Prize in 1995. In recent novels, Barker
has continued to deal with controversial and shocking themes,
including child murderers and the meanings of 'terror' in the
contemporary world. -- .
