Modernism, Fashion and Interwar Women Writers demonstrates how five female novelists of the interwar period engaged with an emerging fashion discourse that concealed capitalist modernity's economic reliance on mass-manufactured, uniform-looking productions by ostensibly celebrating originality and difference. For Edith Wharton, Jean Rhys, Rosamond Lehmann, Elizabeth Bowen and Virginia Woolf fashion was never just the provider of guidelines on what to wear. Rather, it was an important concern, offering them opportunities to express their opinions about identity politics, about contemporary gender dynamics and about changing conceptions of authorship and literary productivity. By examining their published work and unpublished correspondence, this book investigates how the chosen authors used fashion terminology to discuss the possibilities available to women to express difference and individuality in a world that actually favoured standardised products and collective formations."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fashion in literature. 650 7 $a English literature $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912218 650 7 $a Fashion in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00921642 650 7 $a Autorin $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4697220-1 650 7 $a Englisch $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 650 7 $a Frauenliteratur $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4113622-6 650 7 $a Literatur $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4035964-5 650 7 $a Mode $g Motiv $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4133997-6 650 7 $a Frauenroman $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4134195-8 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4078704-7 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019011215.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F4189DDCFDAF11E7BCC604F996128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
