The amusingly terrifying disruptive ingredients of Carter’s liberating nether world

Resumo

By working within the postmodern aesthetics, the English writer Angela Carter concomitantly installs and undermines historical female Gothic in order to bring to the fore social opaque mechanisms that invariably work for the detriment of the female subject. In this way, Carter’s postmodern female Gothic not only does provide escape from the chains of gender, but of genre as well.
