Un-Writing and Inscription in Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body

Through an exhaustive study of British Writer Jeanette Winterson's Written on the Body (1992), Un-Writing and Inscription explores Winterson's incendiary stance towards the patriarchal precept. The book proposes to address the ways in which Jeanette Winterson deploys a plethora of subversive strategies with a view to contravening the patriarchal edict and destabilising master narratives. Predicated as it is on the transcendence of all manner of borders, Un-Writing and Inscription charts the ways in which Jeanette Winterson deconstructs the straitjacket of cultural presumptions and heterosexual conventions.
