Angela Carter

Forfatterbiografi

Angela Carter (født 1940 i Sussex, død februar 1992) var en engelsk forfatter og journalist, kendt for at skrive både romaner og noveller med et skarpt, ofte feministisk blik på myter, eventyr og seksualitet. Hun debuterede som prosaisk stemme i 1960’erne og arbejdede samtidig med journalistik og skriverier i forskellige medier, hvilket bidrog til hendes litterære stil: energisk, sanselig og gennemgående tematisk eksperimenterende. Carter er særlig betydningsfuld for sin måde at omskrive og omforme eventyrstof og fortælletraditioner, så det får nyt indhold og nye magtforhold. Hendes værker bevæger sig ofte i spændingsfeltet mellem gotisk atmosfære, fabulerende fantasi og moderne psykologisk realisme. Blandt de mest kendte titler er The Bloody Chamber, samt romanerne Wise Children og Nights at the Circus. Carter modtog anerkendelse i flere prisfora: Hun vandt John Llewellyn Rhys-prisen for The Magic Toyshop og Somerset Maugham-prisen for Several Perceptions; og samlingen The Bloody Chamber blev tildelt Cheltenham Festival Literary Prize. Hendes litterære betydning rækker ind i både feministisk prosa og moderne genrekrydsning, hvor hun har påvirket læsningen af eventyr og fortællinger i samtiden.
