Jane Dowson is a Reader in Twentieth-Century Literature in the Department of English at De Montfort University, UK.

'The publication of Jane Dowson's brilliant and ground-breaking book Women, Modernism and British Poetry, 1910-1939 is a major literary event, marking the twenty-first century's rethinking of the literary and cultural work of twentieth-century women poets. Dazzling in its scholarship, Jane Dowson's book remaps the territory of Pound, Yeats and Eliot, introducing a new generation of readers to the delights of the other great modernist poets of the period: Nancy Cunard, Iris Tree, Helen Rootham, Edith Sitwell, Amy Lowell, Mina Loy, Laura Riding, Anna Wickham, and many other "lost" women poets. The new map of poetic modernism drawn by Jane Dowson gives readers a whole new world of modernist masterpieces. It is a triumph!' Jane Marcus, Distinguished Professor of English, CUNY Graduate Center and the City College of New York. 'Ultimately, the comprehensive approach of Dowson's book makes it an invaluable reference for readers who wish to expand their knowledge of women writers who were important public figures in the early twentieth century, but whose work has been forgotten, neglected or ignored.' Virginia Woolf Bulletin 'Such a study has long been needed, and it does an admirable job of mapping out the women poets of the period, revealing their connections without oversimplifying them.'
