Description: "Djuna Barnes, Mina Loy and Gertrude Stein were all innovative women writers of the modernist period, and in this new study Alex Goody reappraises their work and their place in early twentieth-century culture. The book also explores the theoretical concerns of recent literary and cultural studies, creating new perspectives on a range of current themes in modernist studies, including technology, the marketing of modernism, the grotesque, women and the city, and Jewishness. Barnes, Loy and Stein are placed at specific modernist moments - key points of articulation - in order to explore their work and its response to modernist culture."--BOOK JACKET.
