Starting from the premise that literature produced by an author does not exist in a vacuum, being a reflection of the time and place in which it is embedded, this study aims to trace how Angela Carter's (1940-1992) journey as a poet – a still under-investigated facet of the British author – reverberates in her first two novels, Shadow dance (1966) and The magic toyshop (1967). It also explores how the 1960s and Carter's personal life are interwoven with the beginning of her literary career.
