Assessing the cultural history of the dandy as a figure
traditionally gendered masculine, this wide-ranging study advances
a critical space for the discussion of the woman dandy. Modernist
Women Dandies revisits dandyism to provide an interpretative
framework for re-evaluating the literary careers of women authors
with atypical literary presence: Edith Sitwell, Nancy Cunard, and
Mina Loy. Cutting across media boundaries, it demonstrates how
their experimental poetry and portrait photographs feed into each
other, fabricating dandy authorial performances that are
simultaneously unapologetically feminine and queer. In showing how
these authors redefined the interplay between dandyism and
authorship, this book makes an important contribution to rethinking
modernist literary culture.
