Until about 1986, feminists generally considered modernism a
reactionary, misogynist, and hegemonic mire not worth
investigating. Since then enough studies of modernism have appeared
that 17 feminist critics can now review and debate their treatment
of the period. They evaluate the progress and goals of the new era
of modernist scholarship. As the authors in this volume suggest,
instead of condemning writers for not practicing or portraying an
acceptable politics of gender, we ought instead to show how their
assumptions about the nature of the sexes inform their texts, both
in their creation and in their reception. This also allows
examination of the complex and changing relationship between human
subjectivity and aesthetics. This volume is a highly reflective
dialogue, introspective and evaluative, at a moment of crisis
within modernist studies and feminist studies. The analysis of
critical work on early-twentieth-century literature not only helps
reread and redefine a definition of modernism; it also intends to
redirect and reintegrate feminist theory.
