Reading Hilary Mantel: Haunted Decades (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781350234499)

From the ghosts which reside in Midlands council houses in Every Day is Mother's Dayto the resurrected historical dead of the Booker Prize-winning Wolf Halland Bring up the Bodies, the writings of Hilary Mantel are often haunted by supernatural figures. One of the first book-length studies of the writer's work, Reading Hilary Mantel explores the importance of ghosts in the full range of her fiction and non-fiction writing and their political, social and ethical resonances. Combining material from original interviews with the author herself with psychoanalytic, historicist and deconstructivist critical perspectives, Reading Hilary Mantelis a landmark study of this important and popular contemporary novelist.
