It published its first reprint in 1977 and launched Virago Modern Classics in 1977. In 1979, Virago published Angela Carter?s controversial non-fiction book, The Sadeian Woman, along with reprints of five of her novels. Carter takes up issues of pornography and feminism, using the Marquis de Sade?s Justine for shocking illustrations of the two roles available to women in society. In this course, we will examine Angela Carter?s role in this feminist intervention into print culture. The history of Virago will provide a context for our analysis of Carter?s novels as well as her retelling of feminist theory as a ?horror story? based on Sade.
