Why did turn-of-the-century England produce the kind of writing it
did? This question is the mainspring of Lyn Pykett's enquiry. She
offers a re-examination of the dawning of the age of modernism,
exploring its origins in certain 19th-century discourses:
discourses about women, discourses about gender, and other
discourses that are organized in gendered terms. The text
challenges the claims of both self-professed modernists, amd their
later academic appropriators, that modernism represents a complete
break with the past. The history of modernism has been a story of
removal of the "great works" of modernist writing from the
immediate material and historical circumstances of their birth, and
their insertion into the timeless ideal order of the "modern
tradition". Focusing on a wide range of authors, but particularly
Woolf and Lawrence, this book takes issue with this historical
blindness and shows how traditional views offer an impoverished
response to the writing of the early 20th century.
