Carter, Angela

World Encyclopedia | 2005 | Copyright

Carter, Angela (1940–92) English novelist and short story writer. Renowned for her daring and innovative style, Carter is closely associated with magic realism. Her writing draws on legend and myth, and mixes past and present, a technique apparent in Nights at the Circus (1984), whose central character is half-woman, half-bird. Other writings include the novels The Magic Toyshop (1967) and The Passion of New Eve (1977), and short-story collections such as The Bloody Chamber (1979) and Fireworks (1987).
