abstract = {Angela Carter’s fiction has been generally acclaimed for her “Rabelaisian humor and linguistic exuberance”. However, the same critics who praise these stylistic traits in Carter call attention to an alleged political weakness in the narrative strategies used by the British writer. The present study uses her story “The Erl-King”, included in the collection The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories (1979), to explore Carter’s intentional ambiguity in providing her fictional women with a voice of their own. Departing from an alternative musical discourse and subversive intertextual references to “The Erl-King” and “Little Red Riding Hood”, Carter creates an illusory setting in the heart of the forest that both deconstructs patriarchal subjugation of women and remains stuck in a stagnant dream. This dyad justifies contradictory opinions among her critics and endows Carter with her unique way of building an alternative type of feminism.},

Partiendo de un discurso musical alternativo y referencias intertextuales subversivas al mito del Rey Elfo y el cuento de Caperucita Roja, Carter crea un ambiente ilusorio en el corazón del bosque que, de un lado, desconstruye la subyugación patriarcal de las mujeres y, de otro, permanece anclado en un sueño viciado. Esta ambigüedad justifica las opiniones contradictorias entre sus críticos y dota a Carter de una peculiar forma de producir un feminismo alternativo.},
