Inhaltsangabe

Why did turn-of-the-century England produce the kind of writing it
did? That deceptively simple question is at the heart of Lyn
Pykett's enquiry. She re-examines the beginning of the age of
modernism, exploring its origins in nineteenth-century discourses:
particularly discourses about women and gender.

'Engendering
Fictions' challenges the claims that modernism represents a complete
break with the past. The history of modernism has been a story of the
removal of the 'great works' of modernist writing from the immediate
material and historical circumstances of their origin, and their
insertion into the timeless ideal order of the 'modern tradition'.
Focusing on a wide range of authors, but particularly Woolf and
Lawrence, Lyn Pykett takes issue with this representation of modernism
and shows how traditional views offer an impoverished response to the
writing of the early twentieth century.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Writing in History explores literature acting in history and history acting in literature. The series aims to write history back into the practice of literary study, urging that to read historically is to catch writing in the act: to watch it happening. Challenging traditional literary history, these books deploy new perspectives in the understanding of history, and show their importance for critical practice.
