The History of British Women's Writing, 1920-1945 cover

Featuring sixteen contributions from recognized authorities in their respective fields, this superb new mapping of women's writing ranges from feminine middlebrow novels to Virginia Woolf's modernist aesthetics, from women's literary journalism to crime fiction, and from West End drama to the literature of Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

'The essays offer a detailed outline of the diverse cultural, historical and political circumstances surrounding women's literary production in the first half of the twentieth century, paving the way for further in-depth engagement with these writers, and providing a critical overview that will be an invaluable support to such studies.' - Gemma Moss, The Journal of the Sylvia Townsend Warner Society
