This book scrutinizes a range of relatively overlooked post-WWII
British women writers who sought to demonstrate that narrative
prose fiction offered rich possibilities for aesthetic innovation.
What unites all the primary authors in this volume is a commitment
to challenging the tenets of British mimetic realism as a literary
and historical phenomenon. This collection reassesses how British
female novelists operated in relation to transnational vanguard
networking clusters, debates and tendencies, both political and
artistic. The chapters collected in this volume enquire, for
example, whether there is something fundamentally different (or
politically dissident) about female experimental procedures and
perspectives. This book also investigates the processes of canon
formation, asking why, in one way or another, these authors have
been sidelined or misconstrued by recent scholarship. Ultimately,
it seeks to refine a new research archive on mid-century British
fiction by female novelists at least as diverse as recent and
longer established work in the domain of modernist studies.
