Marina Warner is such a widely celebrated writer that it is a
source of some wonderment that this is the first full-length study
of her work. Perhaps that is because she is so hard to
characterise: she is an English writer yet she has an international
perspective on her country. She is a novelist who is rooted in
traditional forms such as myth and fairy tale, yet who is wholly
contemporary in her thinking. She celebrates the power of women to
resist patriarchy, but it would be misleading to describe her as a
feminist author. While her numerous works are taken seriously
within the academy, she has resolutely remained an independent
writer with no permanent affiliations to any university. Again, her
vision is secular, yet in both her critical and creative writing
she returns again and again to the idea of the sacred or
supernatural. Above all, she has an equally strong sense of myth
and of history, their interaction being the basis of her fiction
and the focus of her scholarship. She is a wonderfully ambitious
and challenging writer whose contribution is assessed through a
systematic survey in Laurence Coupe's new book.
