In this study, critics working in Britain, Canada and the United
States discuss modernism's imaginative rethinkings of sex, gender
and sexuality. Employing diverse theoretical approaches, the essays
in this volume show how modernism intersects with historical
developments such as the suffragette movement, technological change
and its effects on women and labour, the growth of
pseudo-scientific writings and the burgeoning lesbian and gay
movement. They show how modernism questions the fundamentals of
identity and upsets the fixities of gender and sexuality through a
fascination with ambiguities, marginality and the crossing of
borders. The book explores strategies of expressing same-sex
desires in unexpected settings, modes of remaking sex and the body,
relations between writing and reading, between public and private,
between performer, performance and audience in a modernism broadly
conceived to include political demonstrations, political essays and
the visual arts alongside narrative and poetry.
