Summary
This is the first full-length study of Jeanette Winterson?s complete oeuvre, offering detailed analysis of her nine novels as well as addressing her non-fiction and minor fictional work. Susana Onega combines the study of formal issues such as narrative structure, perspective and point of view with thematic analyses approached from a variety of theoretical perspectives, from narratology and feminist theory to Hermetic and Kabalistic symbolism, to provide a comprehensive?vertical? analysis of Winterson?s novels. Onega reveals the books as complex linguistic artefacts, crammed with intertextual.
