Angela Carter and Surrealism In 1972 Angela Carter translated Xavire Gauthiers - photo 1

Angela Carter and Surrealism

In 1972, Angela Carter translated Xavire Gauthiers ground-breaking feminist critique of the surrealist movement, Surralisme et sexualit (1971). Although the translation was never published, the project at once confirmed and consolidated Carters previous interest in surrealism, representation, gender and desire and aided her formulation of a new surrealist-feminist aesthetic. Carters 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 Watzs study is the first to trace the full extent to which Carters writing engages with surrealism and its critical heritage. Watzs 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.

Anna Watz is Senior Lecturer in English, Linkping University, Sweden.

Studies in Surrealism

Series Editor: Gavin Parkinson, Courtauld Institute of Art

With scholarly interest in Surrealism greater than ever, the Routledge Studies in Surrealism series serves as a forum for key areas of Surrealist inquiry today. This series extends the ongoing academic and popular interest in Surrealism, evident in recent studies that have rethought established areas of Surrealist activity and engagement, including those of politics, the object, photography, crime and modern physics. Expanding and adding various lines of inquiry, books in the series examine Surrealisms intersections with philosophical, social, artistic and literary themes.
