Jeanette Winterson Reviews

"Covering all Winterson's major works over a period of 20 years, this collection of essays does full justice to the range and challenge of her writing. The attention to both the aesthetics and politics of Winterson's work, the insightfulness of the critical approaches and the lucidity of the style make this a stimulating read." Mary Eagleton, Reader in Cultural Studies, Leeds Metropolitan University"
