Exposing how modernist and late-modernist writers tell the stories
of their intimate relationships though life writing, this book
engages with the process by which these authors become subjects to
a significant other, a change that subsequently becomes narrative
within their works. Looking specifically at partners in a couple,
Janine Utell focuses on such literary pairings as Virginia and
Leonard Woolf, Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, Sylvia Townsend
Warner and Valentine Ackland, Christopher Isherwood and Don
Bachardy, and Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. Utell draws on the
latest work in narrative theory and the study of intimacy and
affects to shed light on the ethics of reading relationships in the
modern period. Focusing on a range of genres and media, from memoir
through documentary film to comics, this book demonstrates that
stories are essential for our thinking of love, desire and
sexuality.
