This volume of new writings has a double purpose: to examine what is radical about women's writing and to highlight the richness, complexity, and diversity of women's writing of the period.Writers discussed include Elizabeth von Arnim, Elizabeth Bowen, Vera Brittain, Katherine Burdekin, Nancy Cunard, Storm Jameson, Rosamond Lehmann, Naomi Mitchison, Jean Rhys, Stevi Smith, Sylvia Townsend Warner, Rebecca West and Virginia Woolf.Dealing with women writers of the liberal-left in the 1930s, this volume aims to examine what is radical about women's writing, and draws attention to richness, diversity and complexity of texts which have often been omitted or marginalised in critical discussion of the period.
