Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0 (B), University of Cambridge (English Department), course: Hauptseminar: Modernism and the City, language: English, abstract: Although we have reached the twenty-first century, a period of sophisticated technology and progress, the debate about gender is still going on; it is present in many fields of our lives. Women and homosexuals, for example, are still facing impertinent treatment. It must have been even worse in the last century, the so-called fin de siècle. The last century was concerned with reshaping the image of usual relationships and behaviour radically. Relationships were no longer clearly defined or restricted to a specific combination; also the same sex became challenging, even if this meant the disobedience of the conventional idea of sexuality. Moreover, stereotypes concerning female roles started to be violated. The preoccupation with the representation of the female in politics, such as the right to vote, was amongst the most important topics raised. This was due to changes of the people’s social and cultural life, evoked through the feminist movement. This piece of work will deal with the presentation of gender in selected works of the following female writers: Virginia Woolf and her both rival and friend Katherine Mansfield, as well as Jean Rhys, the modernist writer who died only twenty-three years ago. Building up on theoretical facts, the meaning of gender in the first half of the last century as well as gender-related problems which the protagonists encounter will be elicited. Examples from the novels and short stories will be included.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), course: Getting High on Woolf's Modernism, language: English, abstract: Virginia Woolf can undoubtedly be regarded as one of the most famous writers of the modernist era. However, she was not merely a writer, at the same time she was a biographer, an essayist and also a feminist. Being a female writer in a patriarchal society, Woolf raises issues on gender and gender roles, and challenges the role of the Victorian woman, both in her novels as well as in her other essays. The ideas of women, their role and identity become especially obvious in her novel To the Lighthouse, as here Woolf clearly juxtaposes the two images of women, namely the Victorian ideal and the New Woman. Furthermore, her novels do not merely demonstrate the redefinition of gender roles but also the changes happening in narrative techniques employed in novels during the modernist era. Being part of this movement and the literary changes happening during that time, Woolf herself contributes greatly to shaping the new woman's identity, as she sets out to destroy the stereotype of that time which suggested that only men can write.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Perspectives on Community and the Modernist Subject: Finite, Singular, Exposed offers new approaches to the modernist subject and its relation to community. With a non-exclusive focus on narrative, the essays included provide innovative and theoretically informed readings of canonical modernist authors, including: James, Conrad, Joyce, Woolf, Lawrence, Mansfield, Stein, Barnes and Faulkner (instead of Eliot), as well as of non-canonical and late modernists Stapledon, Rhys, Beckett, Isherwood, and Baldwin (instead of Marsden). This volume examines the context of new dialectico-metaphysical approaches to subjectivity and individuality and of recent philosophical debate on community encouraged by critics such as Alain Badiou, Jean-Luc Nancy, Maurice Blanchot, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito and Jacques Derrida, among others, of which a fresh re-definition of the modernist subject and community remains to be made, one that is likely to enrich the field of "new Modernist studies". This volume will fill this gap, presenting a re-definition of the subject by complementing community-oriented approaches to modernist fiction through a dialectical counterweight that underlines a conception of the modernist subject as finite, singular and exposed, and its relation to inorganic and inoperative communities.

This book was released on 2018-12-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the intersections of gender with class and race in the construction of national and imperial ideologies and their fluid transformation from the Romantic to the Victorian period and beyond, exposing how these cultural constructions are deeply entangled with the family metaphor. For example, by examining the re-signification of the “angel in the house” and the deviant woman in the context of unstable or contingent masculinities and across discourses of class and nation, the volume contributes to a more nuanced understanding of British cultural constructions in the long nineteenth century. The central idea is to unearth the historical roots of the family metaphor in the construction of national and imperial ideologies, and to uncover the interests served by its specific discursive formation. The book explores both male and female stereotypes, enabling a more perceptive comparison, enriched with a nuanced reflection on the construction and social function of class.

Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2001 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: B, Staffordshire University, 19 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The modernist writers were deeply influenced by the changing gender relations and the attitude towards sexuality within society, which is reflected in their literary works. The patriarchal society was more and more questioned, particularly by an awakening feminist movement, and sexuality became a present issue of discourse after new theories had been introduced. Virginia Woolf's Mrs.Dalloway and James Joyce's Ulysses are discussed as two examples of a modernist novel in order to explain in which ways modernist writers dealt with the aspects of gender and sexuality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their new monograph, Gender and Short Fiction: Women's Tales in Contemporary Britain, Jorge Sacido-Romero and Laura M Lojo-Rodriguez explain why artistically ambitious women writers continue turning to the short story, a genre that has not yet attained the degree of literary prestige and social recognition the novel has had in the modern period. In this timely volume, the editors endorse the view that the genre still retains its potential as a vehicle for the expression of female experience alternative to and/or critical with dominant patriarchal ideology present at the very onset of the development of the modern British short story at the turn of the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examination Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the representation of gender in Virginia Woolf's work "Orlando: A Biography", which was published in 1928. With this novel, Woolf created a cross-genre play that does not follow ossified rules and shows a flexible gender system. Originally, the novel, which was written in the style of a biography, was intended as a parody of Vita Sackville-West's life, with whom Woolf had a long-standing affair, which will be revealed in this elaboration through Woolf's diary entries. In the course of writing, however, the playful ideas developed into a serious critique of society's image, which is why this work is often considered a milestone for the second wave of feminism, as the androgynous main character Orlando changes her gender about halfway through the novel and becomes a woman from a man, which is why the topic of gender understanding is in the foreground. For this purpose, the concepts of gender and feminism are first introduced with the help of Judith Butler's "The Discomfort of Gender", before the focus is put on Virginia Woolf and her contribution to the feminist movement. For this purpose, Woolf's work "A Room to Herself" will be examined and her statements regarding androgyny and gender roles will be analyzed. Then, "Orlando" is presented as a stand-alone work and the concepts of the biographer, who is the narrator of the novel, and of time are emphasized, as they are fundamental to the overall understanding of the work. In the analysis, different thematic areas are analyzed for their representation of gender. These include the change of identity as well as the social circumstances in which Orlando lives, the search for truth, love, the recurring symbol of the oak tree, which is associated with poetry, and Orlando's appearance, which Woolf punctuated with inserted images of the main character. In these chapters, Woolf casually presents how the understanding of gender evolves over time and how it is perceived by society. It is noticeable that Orlando himself always maintains his identity and his attempts to conform to societal expectations regarding gender roles fail. This makes it clear that gender is not a fixed category, but dynamic.

Book excerpt: Explores the literary connection between Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth von ArnimElizabeth von Arnim is best remembered as the author of Elizabeth and Her German Garden (1898) and The Enchanted April (1922), as well as being the elder cousin of Katherine Mansfield. Recently, new research into the complex relationship between these writers has extended our understanding of the familial, personal and literary connections between these unlikely friends. We know that they were an influential presence on one another and reviewed each other's work.By bringing the work of Mansfield and von Arnim together - including on matters of artistry, on mourning, on gardens, on female resistance - this book establishes shared preoccupations in ways that refine and extend our knowledge of writing in the period. It also deepens our understanding of the historical and literary contexts within which both of these extraordinary authors worked.
