Gender in Modernism: New Geographies, Complex Intersections

Gender in Modernism, conceived as a sequel to the now-classic volume The Gender of Modernism, selects the best from the fifteen years of feminist literary and modernist scholarship that has appeared since the original's publication. Its fresh and diverse texts examine new themes and reflect today's broader, more inclusive understanding of modernism. The collection's modernist works have been grouped into twenty-one thematic sections, with theoretical introductions to the primary texts provided by the scholars who have taken the lead in pushing both modernism and gender in new directions. The selections enhance our understanding of the complex intersections of gender with a large array of social identifications, including global location, ideas of race, passing, the queering of sexualities, medicine, and experiences of trauma and war. It sees continental modernism in a different light, and moves on to colonial and postcolonial sites. less-studied genres of modernism, including writers on the left, suffragists, authors of manifestos, mediums, authors dismissed as sentimental, artists, dancers, dramatists, and filmmakers. Gender in Modernism will quickly move from resource to springboard, furthering modernist study well into the twenty-first century.

In volume one of this revisionary study of modernism, Bonnie Kime Scott focuses on the literary and cultural contexts that shaped the professional and creative development of Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, and Djuna Barnes: gifted parents and dysfunctional families; their attachments to the celebrated modernism of the Men of 1914; Edwardian uncles who commanded the publishing world while dabbling in the sexual liberation of the new woman; and the suffrage movement. Scott argues that Woolf, West, and Barnes emerged with their own distinct personal arrangements and literary concerns in a second flourishing of modernism, the "Women of 1928" the hallmarks of which were Woolf's "Orlando", West's "The Strange Necessity", Barnes's "Ryder and Ladies Almanack", and their responses to the landmark censorship trial of Radclyffe Hall's lesbian novel "The Well of Loneliness". Aware of the nature of literary markets on both sides of the Atlantic, and of personal and sexual needs, these authors devised corresponding professional and personal arrangements. Scott's contextual approach is based upon fresh archival explorations and, in addition, takes on the challenge of combining postmodern with feminist theory.
