  Article:   JEANETTE WINTERSON’S THE STONE GODS AS AN EBULLITION OF GENRES.

Authors:  ALINA PREDA.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  
Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods as an Ebullition of Genres. This article examines, through the lenses of genre theory applied to The Stone Gods, the reasons why the novel has been harshly criticised for failing to satisfy as science fiction. The analysis does justice to the novel’s complexity, revealing its multifarious nature, an example of the ebullition of literary genres that characterises many modernist and post-modernist works.

Keywords: modernist and post-modernist trends, the hybridization of genres, science fiction.
