Who I am for you: a fictocritical examination of the identities and desires of reader and writer, inspired by the works of Virginia Woolf and Jeanette Winterson

This fictocritical novel and its critical introduction are specifically concerned with the self and creative space, focusing in particular on detailed readings of Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) and Jeanette Winterson (1959 -). In so doing, it explores the presence of a creative space between reality and reverie. The nature of this 'space between' is examined creatively from psychoanalytical and. feminist perspectives. Focusing on the nature of creative space offers a reading of these authors and their work, whilst also providing an original and important response to the relatively unexplored concept of a 'space between'.
