Book Synopsis
Exploring the intersection of ideas about woman, subjectivity, and literary authority, this title reveals the female subject as crucial in framing contradictions central to modernism, particularly the tension between modernism's claim to timeless art and its critique of historical conditions.

Trade Review
"Katz argues that the feminine subject is central to modernism, but she focuses less on the critical and theoretical divide between women/femininity and modernism, and more on the ways in which gender shapes more complex tensions between authority and subversion, or order and chaos, within modernist texts. Highly recommended." -- Choice
"Katz's study is a sophisticated contribution towards current debates on the gender and historicizing of modernism." -- Deborah Parsons, Modern Language Review
"Intelligent and thoughtful. . . . An important contribution to our understanding of the conceptual ambiguities inherent in modernist experimental technique as well as women's role in making such new writing 'persuasive.' . . . [Katz's readings of core texts are sharp and incisive." -- Maureen Moran, English Literature in Translation
