Angela Carter — The Bloody Chamber

Send us a text Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf? Not the heroines from Angela Carter’s 1979 short story collection The Bloody Chamber. The British author tackles dark, primal themes in her spin on classic fables and fairy tales, urging women to eschew victimhood, reclaim their power and bite back! Join us as we dive into this enchanted world of blood, sex and animal magnetism, and find out how Carter’s own life experiences may have prompted her to peel back the skin on tropes of subjugation.  Mentioned in this episode: The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter The Invention of Angela Carter by Edmund Gordon Lost Ladies of Lit Episode No. 216 on Elizabeth Garver Jordan Lost Ladies of Lit Episode No.150 on Elizabeth Smart The Company of Wolves trailer The Box of Delights by John Masefield “The Box of Delights” radio program “The Fall River Axe Murders” (or “Mise-en-Scène For a Parricide”) by Angela Carter Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Teresa Borrenpohl incident Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter Wise Children by Angela Carter Support the show For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Subscribe to our substack newsletter.
