Materiality in Modernist Short Fiction provides a fresh approach to
reading material things in modern fiction, accounting for the
interplay of the material and the cultural. This volume
investigates how Djuna Barnes, Katherine Mansfield, and Jean Rhys
use the short story form to evoke the material world as both living
and lived, and how the spaces they create for challenging gendered
social norms can also be nonanthropocentric spaces for encounters
between the human and the nonhuman. Using the unique knowledge
created by literary works to spark new conversations between
phenomenology, cognitive studies, and new materialisms,
complemented with a feminist perspective, this book explores how
literature can touch the basic experience of being in, feeling and
making sense of a material world that is itself alive and active.
From a sensitive reading of how three women used the material world
to make their readers see, feel, and question the norms shaping our
experience, this volume draws a theory of reading affective
materiality that illuminates modernism and the short story form but
also reaches beyond them.
