This book explores sacrifice as a narrative theme and a stylistic
strategy in works by May Sinclair, Mary Butts and H. D. It argues
that the modernist experiment with pronoun use informs the
treatment of acts of sacrifice in the texts, understood both as
acts of self-renunciation and as ritual performance. It also
suggests that sacrifice, if the conditions are right, can serve as
the structure upon which a cohesive community might be built. The
book offers in-depth analyses of the three authors and their works,
deftly dissecting the modernist narrative experiment to show that
it was by no means limited — it was a means by which to approach
a wide range of stories and materials.
