Transatlantic Footholds: Turn-of-the-Century American Women Writers
and British Reviewers analyses British reviews of American women
fiction writers, essayists and poets between the periods of
literary domesticity and modernism. The book demonstrates that a
variety of American women writers were intelligently read in
Britain during this era. British reviewers read American women as
literary artists, as women and as Americans. While their notion of
who counted as "women" was too limited by race and class, they
eagerly read these writers for insight about how women around the
world were entering debates on women's place, the class struggle,
religion, Indian policy, childrearing, and high society. In the
process, by reading American women in varied ways, reviewers became
hybrid and dissenting readers. The taste among British reviewers
for American women's books helped change the predominant direction
that high culture flowed across the Atlantic from east-to-west to
west-to-east. Britons working in London or far afield were deeply
invested in the idea of "America." "America," their responses
prove, is a transnational construct.
