Description

"Travelling in Women's History with Michele Roberts' Novels: Literature, Language and Culture" is a journey to discover Roberts' work as a feminist writer, novelist and memoirist.

An overall analysis and detailed overview of Michele Roberts' novels first provide the reader with a study of Roberts' rewriting of stories that have been inspired by historical, mythological and religious women who gain a voice in her fiction.

Not only will the content of Roberts' novels be explored but also its connection to form, as this feminist writer has always linked body to language.

Second, the book analyses personal and public discoveries in Roberts' memoir, "Paper Houses: A Memoir of the '70s and Beyond" (2007).

The personal, professional and political journeys the writer-protagonist strolls in London will be part of a feminist culture and language that the memoirist preserves in her autobiography.

Finally, two conversations with Michele Roberts from 2003 and 2010 are presented in a last chapter in order to illustrate Roberts' arguments when writing as a woman.
