Produktbeschreibung
"Ladd rightly understands her project as an intervention in a number of intersecting intellectual projects, new modernist studies, new southern studies, and hemispheric American studies. Any scholar interested in such fields will benefit enormously from reading Ladd's valuable book." -- Modern Fiction Studies In a major reinterpretation, Resisting History reveals that women, as subjects of writing and as writing subjects themselves, played a far more important role in shaping the landscape of modernism than scholars previously acknowledged. Barbara Ladd offers powerful new readings of three southern writers who reimagined authorship between World War I and the mid-1950s. Resisting History challenges ideas about history as a coherent narrative and about the development of U.S. modernism and points to new histories of literary and cultural modernisms in which the work of women equals that of men.
