Experimental Lives: Women and Literature, 1900-1945

Interweaving lucid analyses within a theoretical framework, Prof. Mary Loeffelholz's text offers an insightful look at women and literature spanning the decades between 1900 and 1945. Her work's strength lies in its ability to span such varied phenomenon as the World War I and the Harlem Renaissance, sexuality and race. Readers are supplied with rich historical and cultural information that breathes life into these oft-neglected women and their art. Moreover, notwithstanding its academic focus, Loeffelholz's work is notably accessible to a broad spectrum of readers, offering insight and information to both the student and scholar.
