The Representation of Fairy Tales, Grand Narratives of Love and Christianity in Jeanette Winterson's The Powerbook

Abstract

Winterson is really inventive in representing this search with the elements of fairy tales, biography, and grand narratives of love and Christianity. In the oncoming chapters my aim is to introduce the representation of these elements in the novel as they interpret human life. At some points I also wish to elaborate on the relationship of certain stories as personal history and universal history.
