Beskrivning
Modernist Women Writers and American Social Engagement explores the role of social and political engagement by women writers in the development of American modernism. Examining a diverse array of genres by both canonical modernists and underrepresented writers, this collection uncovers an obscured strain of modernist activism. Each chapter provides a detailed cultural and literary analysis, revealing the ways in which modernists’ politically and socially engaged interventions shaped their writing. Considering issues such as working class women’s advocacy, educational reform, political radicalism, and the global implications for American literary production, this book examines the complexity of the relationship between creating art and fostering social change. Ultimately, this collection redefines the parameters of modernism while also broadening the conception of social engagement to include both readily acknowledged social movements as well as less recognizable forms of advocacy for social change.

[T]o see a full-length book about American modernist women writers continues to surprise and excite, even in the 21st century. No matter how far women authors have come in English literary studies, an anthology focused on women modernists is a cause for celebration. . . . Editors Jody Cardinal, Deirdre E. Egan-Ryan, and Julia Lisella do an impressive job of contextualizing the sections of their book Modernist Women Writers and American Social Engagement in an indispensable introduction. . . . To end, I want to return to the editors’ three major objectives for this collection: the recovery of American women writers, the further study of American women writers, and connecting American women’s modernist literature with cultural studies. In light of these goals and of the remarkable and stimulating work they have commissioned to meet them, this reviewer congratulates them on an admirable success.
