Recenzii
'... this is an intellectually vigorous and focused work that successfully combines analyses of class, race, gender and architecture in the work of these modernist writers.' Times Literary Supplement ’... there may be aspects of postcolonial critical discourse, as well as modernist literary texts, that we will now have to read differently in light of Wilson’s excellent and thoroughly enjoyable book.’ Modernism-Modernity '... lively and instructive ...' Woolf Studies Annual ’I find Wilson’s aim in this project worthwhile, its breadth exciting and its argument provocative. Her intense focus on domestic service and her interdisciplinary array of sources open modernist studies up to new interpretive and critical possibilities.’ Virginia Woolf Bulletin 'Wilson adds an important layer of historical context to an otherwise largely literary study in her treatment of early 20th-century conduct-books for servants, along with guide-books written to instruct upper-class women in the management of their domestic help.' MAKE Literary Magazine
Descriere
In The Labors of Modernism, Wilson analyzes the unrecognized role of domestic servants in the experimental forms and narratives of Modernist fiction by Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, Nella Larsen and Jean Rhys. She shows that the liminal position of servants in these texts forces the reader to recognize servants not just as characters, but as conditions for the production of literature and of the homes in which literature is created.
