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 \u003ci\u003eOrlando\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003ci\u003eA Biography \u003c\/i\u003e(1928), Yeats' \u003cem\u003eThe Winding Stair and Other \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ePoems \u003c\/em\u003e(1933), Joyce's \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake \u003c\/i\u003e(1939), Beckett's \u003ci\u003eNot I \u003c\/i\u003e(1972), and other dramatic works. By rendering sexuality more obviously as a component of female character, these works of modernist literature shape our understanding of the artistic body as a structure for thinking about \"woman\" as a linguistic construct and material reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study is will be of great interest to scholars in English literature, women and gender studies, and sexuality studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367552310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367552312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.33d","brand":"Elaine Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057202786559,"sku":"9780367552312","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea924733-69c5-4d9a-bff5-fda1f8514f50.jpg?v=1685045621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/female-sexuality-in-modernist-fiction-elaine-wood-9780367552312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
