The body has become a highly contested, political site in (post)
modern literature and literary theory. In Angela Carter's work the
image of the body is constructed around the tension between a
post-structuralist notion of gender fluidity and a feminist
reclaiming of the female body as a source of pleasure and power.
This study examines the body politics in the last four novels
Carter wrote between the seventies and the nineties: The Infernal
Desire Machines, The Passion of New Eve, Nights at the Circus and
Wise Children. Drawing on feminist and poststructuralist theory, it
traces a development in Carter's fiction that moves from the
pessimistic negation of a self-determined female corporeality to
the assertion of the female body as a powerful site of alterity.
