In this book, scholars, students and aficionados of Jeanette
Winterson will find ten analyses of time, space and narrative in
her works. From her very first novel, Jeanette Winterson has made
her characters move in time and in space, and she has always shown
a sophisticated interest in narrative forms, and this is the first
book to focus entirely on these central concerns. The writers of
the essays provide different perspectives on the three subjects,
from postmodernism to quantum physics, queer theory to genre
studies and the uncanny to stylistics. In its section on time and
narrative, the volume offers a fresh approach to Winterson's works,
with a concentration on autobiographical elements, love, desire,
the language of quantum physics, and the queer uncanny. The next
section, space and narrative, pursues the motifs of journeys,
utopic spaces, cyberspace and labyrinths, and includes a chapter on
the shorter fiction. The last section, which comprises essays that
cover all three elements of time, space and narrative equally,
examines these themes as they affect Winterson's representation of
voices and corporeality, and her use of romance narrative in the
children's fiction. The volume covers Winterson's major fiction,
with the Introduction connecting the images of huts, rivers and
fire-gazing that are found extensively in her works to the themes
of time and space, and bringing the discussion up to Winterson's
latest novel, The Stone Gods. A mixture of established and new
scholars presents in this book an exciting array of the latest
ideas on this respected and popular writer.
