Bringing new insights from genre theory to bear on the work of the
journalist and novelist Rebecca West, this study explores how
West's use of and combinations of multiple genres (often in single
works) was informed and furthered by her subversive feminist goals.
Rebecca West's Subversive Use of Hybrid Genres analyzes West's
sense of genres as dynamic and strategic processes with
transgressive political ends rather than as fixed and reified
taxonomies, a radical new approach at the time that is now mirrored
in much contemporary theory. Surveying her oeuvre from this point
of view, the book goes on to examine systematically West's writing
from 1911-1941, including her early journalism and criticism, such
novels as The Return of the Soldier and her controversial
multi-genre epic Black Lamb and Grey Falcon.
