Summary/Abstract: Angela Carter’s fiction constantly evokes boundaries and borderlines, with places, states, conditions merging into one another. This analysis of her novels brings to the forefront ambiguous characters, neither children nor adults, suspended in a point between the end of one journey and the beginning of another. You are invited on their journey within liminal settings, such as the toyshop, the pub, the father’s house, in seven of Angela Carter’s novels.
