Books by Christine Brooke-Rose

Cutting across the wide field of 'fantastic' literature, Professor Brooke-Rose examines in a clear and precise way the essential differences between several 'fantastic' narratives against the background of realistic fiction. In doing so, she employs many of the methods of modern literary theory whilst retaining a sharp critical intuition.

The novelist and critic Christine Brooke-Rose reflects on her own fictional craft and turns her well-developed analytic abilities on other writers fictional and critical, from Hawthorne to Pound to Bloom and Derrida, in an attempt to investigate those difficult border zones between the 'invented' and the 'real'.
