    Angela Carter is a renowned English female author who lived from 1940 to 1992. She read English at Bristol University and was Fellow in Creative Writing at Sheffield University from 1978 until 1978. She travelled extensively, living in Japan, America and Australia during her lifetime, and the influence of these places is apparent in her work.

    Her first novel was published at the age of just 25, entitled Shadow Dance. Her second novel The Magic Toyshop won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, and her third Several Perceptions was awarded the Somerset Maugham Prize. She published several other novels, being awarded the James Tait Black memorial Prize in 1884 for nights at the Circus.

    Angela Carter is also renowned for her short story collections, some of which were also prize winners. Her non fiction work The Sadeiam Women: An Exercise in Cultural History gained global renown, and she also produced two collections of journalism, the last published in the final year of her life.
