The essays in this volume on women's writing of the First World War
are written from an explicitly theoretical and academic feminist
perspective. The contributors - including a number of leading
female academics - challenge current thinking about women's
responses to the First World War and explore the differences
between women writers of the period, thus questioning the very
categorization of `women's writing'. The Great War stimulated a
sudden growth in the novel industry. Well known writers such as Mrs
Humphrey Ward and Edith Wharton found themselves jostled by authors
like Ruby M. Ayres, Kate Finzi, and Olive Dent. The trauma of the
war continued to reverberate through much of the fiction published
in the years that followed its inglorious end. This volume
considers some of the best known, and some of the least known,
women writers on whose work the war left its shadow. The writing of
some of the most famous 'modernist' women writers - including
Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, and H. D. - is reassessed as
war literature, and the work of long-neglected authors such as
Vernon Lee, Frances Bellerby, and Mary Butts is given serious
attention for the first time.
