Research task on Angela Carter

In pairs, chosen by me, you should gather information on the following study areas and compile your finding onto a PowerPoint. You shall deliver a presentation in lessons.

Biography - including her studies, e.g. Marquis de Sade
Chronolgy of works
Critics' comments, reviews etc...
Focus on one story from the collection and comment on the fairytale's heritage, original storyline and other transformations of it other than Carter's, e.g. film, pantomime, twists in details, etc...

For extension (you should all show some attempt!) you should also explore the some of the postmodernist literary conventions this text deploys (such as temporal disorder, metafictionality, intertextuality, and magical realism).

You have one week from the lesson this task is introduced!

Cheers,

Mr. D
