New Readings of Elizabeth von Arnim cover

New Readings of Elizabeth von Arnim: The Unexpected Modernist consolidates the growing field of Elizabeth von Arnim studies and points to new trajectories for further research. Bringing together recognised and emerging scholarly voices and featuring previously unseen archival materials, this volume introduces key contexts for reading von Arnim's work at an important point in her re-appraisal as a writer. Its eleven chapters highlight critical debates related to modernism, feminism and the middlebrow and explore new contexts such as fashion and material culture, medical humanities, ageing studies, music and the visual arts. By focusing on neglected novels from von Arnim's oeuvre and examining better-known work from new perspectives, the volume paves the way for the next decade of von Arnim studies and beyond.
