Her novels are inspired by the works of T.S.Eliot and Virginia Woolf. The following book is aimed at researching the poetic devices used by Winterson in her prose. Five novels were analysed: \u003ci\u003eThe Passion\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSexing the Cherry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWritten on the Body\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGut Symmetries\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe.Powerbook\u003c\/i\u003e. Some of the most important aspects of the book are the intertextual references to other literary works, especially to the poetry and essays by T.S. Eliot who is the biggest inspiration in Winterson's works. The book is an attempt to define the Wintersonian style, and it presents a variety of methods used by Winterson to achieve the poetic quality in her prose. The research demonstrates both the prosaic and poetic elements of Winterson's works which illustrate the connection between transparency and opacity of language. What is interesting is the notion of the literal which may appear mundane and unpoetic. However, this analysis of Winterson's novels shows that the literal is an essential element of poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinterson – Prose – Poetry – Poetic prose – Prose poem – T.S.
