'Lizzie Borden took an axe': repetition and heterosexual crime in Gertrude Stein's detective fiction -- Coda. 520 $a Explores the aesthetic dilemma prompted by the censorship of Radclyffe Hall's novel The Well of Loneliness in 1928. Faced with legal and financial reprisals, women writers were forced to question how they might represent lesbian identity and desire. Modernist experimentation has often been seen as a response to this problem, but English breaks new ground by arguing that popular genre fictions offered a creative strategy against the threat of detection and punishment. Her study examines a range of responses to this dilemma by offering illuminating close readings of fantasy, crime, and historical fictions written by both mainstream and modernist authors.--Provided by publisher 650 0 $a English fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Lesbianism in literature. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) 650 7 $a American fiction $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807099 650 7 $a English fiction $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910866 650 7 $a Lesbianism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996536 650 7 $a Modernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024455 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version $z 9780748693740 830 0 $a Edinburgh critical studies in modernist culture. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227014734.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826050255.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=90C03C7C246D11E5A97E42B6DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
