- Title
"A repeating world": Redeeming the Past and Future in the Utopian Dystopia of Jeanette Winterson's The Stone Gods.
- Authors
Jennings, Hope
- Abstract
The article examines how Jeanette Winterson's book "The Stone Gods" follows a spatio-temporal alternative to the pattern of dystopian apocalypse and the utopian breach from history. It notes that such alternative showed Winterson's objective to tear down repressive ideologies through articulated narratives that no longer enact similar self-destructive cycles. It also points that the book is a pertinent illustration of a feminist critical dystopia.
