This selection of eleven essays charts the most important aspects
of the developing debate about Collins's fiction in the last twenty
years. Employing a range of theoretical and methodological
approaches - including reader response theory, narratology,
psychoanalysis, deconstruction, cultural materialism and a range of
feminisms - these essays examine Collins's fiction from several
perspectives: historical, psychological, structural, generic and
political (including gender politics). They focus on an author
preoccupied with the production of social and psychological
identity, and with issues of class, gender and power. If there is a
single issue which permeates this collection, it is the question of
the subversiveness of Collins's fiction or, alternatively, its
retreat from and/or containment of a radical social critique or
subversive impulses. The pros and cons of this debate are explored
further in Lyn Pykett's detailed and wide-ranging introduction.
