In a remarkably wide range of London narratives dating from the 1880s through the 1930s, we may trace a shared, multi-faceted preoccupation with middle-class women's new participation in the urban scene. From naturalist fiction to canonical high modernism, from middlebrow novels to lowbrow musicals, from sociological journalism to fine art, in an astonishing range of genres and venues, the modern woman and her sites take center stage. It's a preoccupation that runs through narratives authored by both men and women, who are of origins rural and urban, English and colonial. That this resounding presence hasn't been adequately noticed or accounted for in modernist literary studies suggests a resemblance to Poe's purloined letter, hiding in plain sight. This book examines how and why these women and spaces attracted so much interest and registers their impact in both thematic content and narrative form. It orients the era's literary production at the intersection of gendered and raced identities, urban space, and narrative, encompassing diverse writers and texts often left out of even broad conceptions of British modernism. Attending to the role of women and to colonial residents of color (both male and female) in shaping the city and its literature, it argues that the recurrent trope of the modern woman in liminal urban spaces provides a method for bridging modernism's formal experiments and its social investments"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 228-251) and index. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008102754 650 0 $a English literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103188 650 0 $a Women in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147587 650 0 $a Sex role in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85120668 650 0 $a Liminality in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94006261 651 0 $a London (England) $x In literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107013 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z London. $z London. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999953 650 7 $a Modernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024455 650 7 $a Public spaces in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083063 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 650 7 $a Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Frau. $0 (DE-588)4113617-2 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Literatur. $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 $2 gnd 650 7 $a OÌffentlicher Raum. $0 (DE-588)4172385-5 $2 gnd 651 7 $a London. $0 (DE-588)4074335-4 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108636407 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019020752.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E2D96E0083F11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
