Overview

This book explores the theoretical concerns of recent literary and cultural studies through a reappraisal of three innovative women writers of the modernist period: Djuna Barnes, Mina Loy, and Gertrude Stein. These three writers are placed at specific modernist moments—key points of articulation—in order to explore their work and its response to the culture around it. In its provocative combination of cultural methodologies, Modernist Articulations significantly expands on existing aesthetic cartographies of modernism.
