| Abstract
|
:
|
"Cultures of Modernism explores how the structure and location of literary communities significantly influence who writes, what they write about, and their openness to formal experimentation. These influences particularly affect women writers. Author Cristanne Miller notes striking patterns of similarity in the concerns and lives of women living in geographically distant centers of modernist production. She looks at three significant poets - the American Marianne Moore, the British expatriate Mina Loy, and the German Else Lasker-Schuler - in the context of cultural, national, and local elements to argue that location significantly affected their performances of subjectivity, gender, race, and religion."--Jacket
