Daniela Caselli

Improper Modernism (eBook, PDF)

Djuna Barnes's Bewildering Corpus

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Daniela Caselli raises timely questions about Djuna Barnes, biography and feminist criticism, identity and authority, and modernist canon formation and tackles a central issue in Barnes: intertextuality. Caselli shows that throughout Barnes's corpus, the repetition of texts, by other authors (from Blake to Middleton) and by Barnes herself, forces us to rethink the relationship between authority and gender in modernism.
