Vagabond Fictions

Autor Carole Sweeney
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2022
Note: please change the hyphen to an en-rule in the date range 'In this fascinating and timely volume, Carole Sweeney reminds us how five previously well-known experimental women writers of the mid-twentieth century are more or less neglected today. Via masterful textual analysis of some of their most notable works, together with concise biographical synopses, their personalities, creative endeavours and sheer radicalism are showcased for a new generation of readers to appreciate.' Gerri Kimber, Visiting Professor, University of Northampton Examines British women's experimental writing in historical contexts, 1945-1970 Filling in a blank spot in the history of twentieth-century women's writing, Carole Sweeney examines the work of five experimental writers, Anna Kavan, Brigid Brophy, Christine Brooke-Rose, Eva Figes and Ann Quin, whose writing has been neglected in accounts of the development of post-1945 British literature. Each of these writers, Sweeney argues, engaged in diverse formal experiments that challenge the critical commonplace suggesting that after the end of aesthetic modernism the mid-century British novel was characterised by a wholesale return to realism. Avoiding any insistence on a straightforward opposition between literary realism and experimentalism, this study draws upon original archival and biographical material and offers close readings of the creative and critical work of these 'vagabond' writers, demonstrating how they wrote against aesthetic and thematic conventions of their times and negotiated (and often repudiated) concepts of 'feminine' writing. Carole Sweeney is Reader in Modern Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London.
