Infos

This volume provides sustained critical attention on Byatt's wonder tales, both the stand-alone tales and those which are embedded in the wider frame of a novel or novella. In this light, it examines Byatt's claim that her wonder tales "e;are modern literary stories and they do play quite consciously with a postmodern creation and recreation of old forms"e; through a revisitation of the wonder tale in a productive dialogue with tradition as an expanded recognition of this fertile creative-critical dialogue with regards to the significance of the wonder tale in Byatt's fictional work. The book evinces a fresh variety of conceptions and approaches to Byatt's wonder tales, some spanning several tales and others focussing on a specific wonder tale, all thoroughly observant of the nature and workings of the relationship between story or novel and genre or tale, and theoretically informed by innovative critical approaches.
