Recenzii
'Briganti and Mezei’s investigation of domesticity and modern literature smoothly synthesizes the authors’ deep expertise in both the modern novel and theoretical writings on the home. Very lucidly written, this book works well as both an introduction to the topic, appropriate for students, and as a deeply researched, authoritative overview of the field.' Christopher Reed, Chair, Department of Art, Lake Forest College, and author of Bloomsbury Rooms: Modernism, Subculture, and Domesticity 'Chiara Briganti and Kathy Mezei have done justice to this most subtle and personally secretive of authors by setting Young's supposedly "middlebrow" work convincingly n the context of contemporary literary trends.' Times Literary Supplement ’... ground-breaking study... complemented by ten illustrations and photographs, an impressive twenty-five-page bibliography, and an exemplary index listing numerous rubrics... Each of the book's eight chapters has extensive explanatory notes... the crux of Domestic Modernism is Young's novels, each given a lucid, lively plot summary...’ Modern Language Review
Descriere
This book provides an analytical model for reading a large body of modernist works by women. The authors document the publication and reception history of E. H. Young's novels, make a significant contribution to the field of 'homeculture,' and show that the fictional embodiment of home in Young, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, Ivy Compton-Burnett, Lettice Cooper, E. M. Delafield, Stella Gibbons, Storm Jameson, and E. Arnot Robertson epitomizes the symbiosis between architecture and literature, or between the house and the novel.
