Wikipedia

Angela Carter (née le 7 mai 1940 à Eastbourne, dans le Sussex, en Angleterre, morte le 16 février 1992 à Londres) fut une romancière britannique qui a renouvelé les motifs de la mythologie, des légendes et des contes de fées dans son œuvre, leur conférant un humour macabre et une dimension érotique.
