Explores the tension between the abstract intellect and material
bodies in May Sinclair's writing May Sinclair was a bestselling
author of her day whose versatile literary output, including
criticism, philosophy, poetry, psychoanalysis and experimental
fiction, now frequently falls between the established categories of
literary modernism. In terms of her contribution to dominant
modernist paradigms she was, until recently, best remembered for
recasting the psychological novel as 'stream of consciousness'
narrative in a 1918 review of Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage. This
book brings together the most recent research on Sinclair and
re-contextualises her work both within and against dominant
Modernist narratives. It explores Sinclair's negotiations between
the public and private, the cerebral and the corporeal and the
spiritual and the profane in both her fiction and non-fiction. Key
