MICHÈLE ROBERTS - SARAH J FALCUS KARTONIERT (TB)

This book provides an accessible and yet thorough analysis of the work of Michèle Roberts  a
prolific half-English and half-French writer who can claim both literary and popular appeal.
Roberts¿s work is examined alongside contemporary feminist theory  particularly the work of
Luce Irigaray and feminist philosophers of religion. The book traces the development of
Roberts¿s work from its origins in the feminist movement of the seventies  through its
engagement with the philosophy of religion and its interest in historiography  to the
postmodern playfulness of her latest work. At the same time  the book does acknowledge enduring
concerns in her oeuvre  particularly the fascination with the mother-daughter relationship and
the desire to engage with and rewrite both history and myth. The book offers detailed readings
of Roberts¿s novels together with a selection of her short stories and poetry.
