Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Deadlock: Pilgrimage Vol. 6" by Dorothy M. Richardson is the penultimate installment in her groundbreaking modernist novel collection, "Pilgrimage." This painting continues the introspective adventure of its protagonist, Miriam Henderson, thru the complexities of her existence and the evolving global round her. As Miriam grapples with the societal changes of the early 20th century, Richardson employs her different move-of-attention style to in detail explore the individual's mind and emotions. "Deadlock" affords a nuanced portrayal of Miriam's relationships, aspirations, and inner conflicts, delving into the demanding situations confronted by means of a girl navigating the moving landscapes of feminism, identity, and societal expectations. The name "Deadlock" shows a feel of stasis or deadlock, shooting the essence of Miriam's battle to reconcile her individuality with societal norms. Richardson's narrative prowess shines as she weaves collectively difficult layers of notion and experience, presenting readers with a bright and immersive literary revel in. As a pivotal quantity within the "Pilgrimage" collection, "Deadlock" contributes to Richardson's legacy as a pioneering modernist author, providing a profound exploration of the human psyche and the changing dynamics of a swiftly evolving global.

Download or read book The Single Woman Modernity and Literary Culture written by Emma Sterry and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book situates the single woman within the evolving landscape of modernity, examining how she negotiated rural and urban worlds, explored domestic and bohemian roles, and traversed public and private spheres. In the modern era, the single woman was both celebrated and derided for refusing to conform to societal expectations regarding femininity and sexuality. The different versions of single women presented in cultural narratives of this period—including the old maid, odd woman, New Woman, spinster, and flapper—were all sexually suspicious. The single woman, however, was really an amorphous figure who defied straightforward categorization. Emma Sterry explores depictions of such single women in transatlantic women’s fiction of the 1920s to 1940s. Including a diverse selection of renowned and forgotten writers, such as Djuna Barnes, Rosamond Lehmann, Ngaio Marsh, and Eliot Bliss, this book argues that the single woman embodies the tensions between tradition and progress in both middlebrow and modernist literary culture.

Download or read book Feminism and the Postmodern Impulse written by Magali Cornier Michael and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1996-07-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael analyzes the intersections between feminist politics and postmodern aesthetics as demonstrated in recent Anglo-American fiction. While much has been written on various aspects of postmodernism and postmodern fiction and of feminism and feminist fiction, very little attention has been given to the postmodern aesthetic strategies that surface in post-World War II feminist fiction. Feminism and the Postmodern Impulse examines ways in which many widely read and acclaimed novels with feminist impulses engage and transform subversive aesthetic strategies usually associated with postmodern fiction to strengthen their feminist political edge. The author discusses many examples of recent feminist-postmodern fiction, and explores in greater depth Doris Lessing's The Golden Notebook, Marge Piercy's Woman on the Edge of Time, Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, and Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus. She shows that feminist-postmodern fiction's emphasis on the material historical situation—the link to activist politics and commitment to enacting concrete changes in the world, and thus the need to reach a large reading public—often results in a blending and transformation of postmodern and realist aesthetic forms. Moreover, feminist fiction uses deconstructive strategies not only to disrupt the status quo but also to create a space for reconstruction, particularly of recreating new forms of female subjectivities and feminist aesthetics.

Download or read book Russomania written by Rebecca Beasley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russomania: Russian Culture and the Creation of British Modernism provides a new account of modernist literature's emergence in Britain. British writers played a central role in the dissemination of Russian literature and culture during the early twentieth century, and their writing was transformed by the encounter. This study restores the thick history of that moment, by analyzing networks of dissemination and reception to recover the role of neglected as well as canonical figures, and institutions as well as individuals. The dominant account of British modernism privileges a Francophile genealogy, but the turn-of-the century debate about the future of British writing was a triangular debate, a debate not only between French and English models, but between French, English, and Russian models. Francophile modernists associated Russian literature, especially the Tolstoyan novel, with an uncritical immersion in 'life' at the expense of a mastery of style, and while individual works might be admired, Russian literature as a whole was represented as a dangerous model for British writing. This supposed danger was closely bound up with the politics of the period, and this book investigates how Russian culture was deployed in the close relationships between writers, editors, and politicians who made up the early twentieth-century intellectual class--the British intelligentsia. Russomania argues that the most significant impact of Russian culture is not to be found in stylistic borrowings between canonical authors, but in the shaping of the major intellectual questions of the period: the relation between language and action, writer and audience, and the work of art and lived experience. The resulting account brings an occluded genealogy of early modernism to the fore, with a different arrangement of protagonists, different critical values, and stronger lines of connection to the realist experiments of the Victorian past, and the anti-formalism and revived romanticism of the 1930s and 1940s future.
