Taylor & Francis Ltd Female Sexuality in Modernist Fiction
Book SynopsisFemale Sexuality in Modernist Fiction: Literary Techniques for Making Women Artists provides a chronological investigation of the innovative writing styles of canonical modernist writers to reveal a shift in gendered representations of sexual subjectivity.Positioned at the nexus of studies on the body and sexuality in modernist literature, this book addresses the complex ways that constructions of female sexuality are understood culturally, politically, and epistemologically. Using close reading strategies to identify how modernist authors challenge representations of female positionality as passive, case studies consider how canonical modernist authors Virginia Woolf, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett found new ways to represent women as embodied, sexual, desired, and desiring subjects through prose, poetry, and drama. This book addresses Woolf's Orlando: A Biography (1928), Yeats' The Winding Stair and Other PoemTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Clothing and the Female Body in Woolf’s Orlando 2 Yeats’ Female Forms and Poetic Figures 3 Joyce’s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Girl 4 Playing the (Body) Part in Beckett’s Theater Conclusion: The Woman Made-Up
