Description
Book SynopsisExamines the influences of location on the literary achievements of three modernist women writers. This book shows how the structure and location of literary communities significantly influence who writes, what they write about, and their openness to formal experimentation - and in particular, women writers.
Trade ReviewA fascinating, provocative, and genuinely original study of a 'different' modernism in poetry—namely, the Modernism of women poets." —Marjorie Perloff, Stanford University
"An important and ambitious work that makes major contributions to the fields of gender studies and modernist studies, and to the study of modernist poetry." —Robin Schulze, Pennsylvania State University
"Offers a welcome corrective to the unreflective critical tendency . . . to make broad claims about the historical experiences and cultural conundrums of 'women,' and particularly 'women writers.' Miller offers tour-de-force comparative readings . . . threading together the world-historical with the personal, poetics with the political, and wielding the instruments of scansion as deftly as a surgeon." —
