Fears and Fantasies: Modernity, Gender, and the Rural-Urban Divide
explores the ways in which fantasies about returning to, or
revitalising, rural life helped to define Western modernity in the
early twentieth century. Scholarship addressing responses to
modernity has focused on urban space and fears about the effects of
city life; few studies have considered the 'rural' to be as
critical as the 'urban' in understanding modernity. This book
argues that the rural is just as significant a reference point as
the urban in discourses about modernity. Using a rich Australian
case study to illuminate broader international themes, it focuses
on the role of gender in ideas about the rural-urban divide,
showing how the country was held up against the 'unnatural' city as
a space in which men were more 'masculine' and women more
'feminine'. Fears and Fantasies is an innovative and important
contribution to scholarship in the fields of history and gender
studies.
