| Professor Pitchford is the author of Tactical Readings: Feminist Postmodernism in the Novels of Kathy Acker and Angela Carter (Bucknell, 2002), as well as essays on Gertrude Stein, the Booker Prize, and recent Black British writing. She also has an ongoing research interest in feminist approaches to pornography and obscenity. Her current project, tentatively titled Notorious Novelists: Literature and Media Controversy in Contemporary Britain, examines the role played by literary fiction--and particularly by public debates surrounding novels and novelists--in rethinking the meaning of British national identity during and immediately after the Thatcher years (1979-1990). |
