Essay from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, , course: PhD, language: English, abstract: With the rise of feminism in the West, there came a drastic change in the society in regard to women in terms of their status and position in the society. Women came out in all the spheres i.e. literature, politics, bureaucracy, sports, films and media etc. So because of this many women writers emerged in Britain who have gain name and fame internationally and who have enriched the British literature like the male writers. Angela Carter is one such English novelist who is known for her feminism and also postmodernism. She was a journalist who was famous for her magical realism, surrealism, fantasy, gothic, science fiction and picaresque works. Because of all this, she is considered as a unique and original writer of 20th century. She was ranked tenth in the list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945" by The Times in 2008.

In 1972, Angela Carter translated Xavière Gauthier’s ground-breaking feminist critique of the surrealist movement, Surréalisme et sexualité (1971). Although the translation was never published, the project at once confirmed and consolidated Carter’s previous interest in surrealism, representation, gender and desire and aided her formulation of a new surrealist-feminist aesthetic. Carter’s sustained engagement with surrealist aesthetics and politics as well as surrealist scholarship aptly demonstrates what is at stake for feminism at the intersection of avant-garde aesthetics and the representation of women and female desire. Drawing on previously unexplored archival material, such as typescripts, journals, and letters, Anna Watz’s study is the first to trace the full extent to which Carter’s writing was influenced by the surrealist movement and its critical heritage. Watz’s book is an important contribution to scholarship on Angela Carter as well as to contemporary feminist debates on surrealism, and will appeal to scholars across the fields of contemporary British fiction, feminism, and literary and visual surrealism.
