Read the transcript of the Carter story and find my handout with language questions and another story, about the ORAL story Angela Carter took into account for writing “The Werewolf” (unfortunately known as… Red Riding Hood, the patriarchal version of “The Grandmother’s Tale”!)
This post is new, from one posted in 2019 that was not working for some mysterious reason.
