Contributing to the conversation regarding Angela Carter's
problematic relationship with what she viewed as the interrelated
traditions of surrealism and psychoanalysis, Scott Dimovitz
explores the intricate connections between Carter's private life
and her public writing. He begins with Carter's assertion that it
was through her "sexual and emotional life" that she was
radicalized, drawing extensively on the British Library's recently
archived collection of Carter's private papers, journals, and
letters to show how that radicalization happened and what it meant
both for her worldview and for her writings. Through close textual
analysis and a detailed study of her papers, Dimovitz analyzes the
ways in which this second-wave feminist's explorations of sexuality
merged with her investigations into surrealism and psychoanalysis,
an engagement that ultimately led to the explosively surreal
allegories of Carter's later, more complex, and more accomplished
work. His study not only offers a new way to view Carter's oeuvre,
but also makes the case for the importance of Angela Carter's
vision in understanding the transformations in feminist thinking
from the postwar to the postfeminist generation.
