Product Description

Product Description
Women's Writing in English: Britain 1900-1945 presents a survey of the range of women's writing in the earlier twentieth century, looking in particular at the work of leading modernists including Woolf, Richardson and Rhys. The work of these writers is explored in its historical contexts and in the context of the vital and diverse writings which flourished alongside them.

This was a period when women's writing was influenced by the struggles of the women's movement, and when continuing debates about women's writing and feminist programmes were clearly articulated for the first time. Anthea Trodd explores these issues, and considers how women writers related to each other in this period of developing professionalism and divisions between high, middle and lowbrow writing. The individual chapters discuss the leading innovative writers and their relation to documentarist, rural and historical fiction, poetry, autobiography, academic discourse, and the popular genres of romance, crime and children's writing in which women dominated.

3.0 out of 5 stars this is about women writing in England, not Britain, 24 Aug 2007
By Kate Marsh "Kate" (Belgium) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really liked this book for the first few chapters: it is clear, beautifully-written, very well organised, and is an excellent introduction and overview to the period and the subject. Then I began to ask myself, where are the Scottish, Irish and Welsh writers? Where is Willa Muir? If Katherine Mansfield and Jean Rhys are in there, with their colonial origins, where are the Welsh women poets of the 1920s? Naomi Mitchison is not enough to stand for all the women writers of the Scottish Renaissance. If she can talk about Elizabeth Bowen, why not the chroniclers of the decaying Irish county life? These important writers are completely ignored, and this makes the book suddenly one-sided, and inadequate. No book with 'Britain' on the title should ignore the other three countries of the UK. But, saying that, the writers Trodd does choose to discuss, either in a few sentences or in substantial sections, are given lucid and thoughtful assessments.

For the reprints, either correct the title, or add a prominent disclaimer.
