Description
Summary:This fictocritical novel and its critical introduction are specifically concerned with the self and creative space, focusing in particular on detailed readings of Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) and Jeanette Winterson (1959 -). In so doing, it explores the presence of a creative space between reality and reverie. The nature of this 'space between' is examined creatively from psychoanalytical and. feminist perspectives. Focusing on the nature of creative space offers a reading of these authors and their work, whilst also providing an original and important response to the relatively unexplored concept of a 'space between'.
