Love in Jeanette Winterson’s Novels

ISBN: 9789042029453 出版年：2010 页码：258 Julie Ellam Brill

This volume is of interest for lovers and students of Jeanette Winterson’s writing and introduces for the first time a book-length examination of the love stories she has created. Each main novel, from Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit to The Stone Gods, is analysed in detail and theorists ranging from Derrida, to Freud, to Kristeva are invoked to help discuss the paradox that is written into the passion in these works. Love, it is argued here, is central to her writing and this book also unfolds the influences and aspirations that have shaped her style.
