Drawing on a vast range of texts, including Angela Carter, David Cronenberg, Kristeva and Freud, Mary Russo explores the cultural associations with the grotesque, deeply embedded in western culture and consciousness.

The grotesque - the exagggerated, the deformed, the monstrous - has been a well-considered subject for students of comparative literature and art. In a major addition to the literature of art, cultural criticism and feminist studies, Mary Russo re-examines the grotesque in the light of gender, exploring the works of Angela Carter David Cronenberg Bahktin Kristeva Freud Zizek. Mary Russo looks at the portrayal of the grotesque in Western culture and by combining the iconographic and the historical, locates the role of the woman''s body in the discourse of the grotesque.
