That deceptively simple question is at the heart of Lyn\u003cbr\u003e Pykett's enquiry. She re-examines the beginning of the age of \u003cbr\u003emodernism, exploring its origins in nineteenth-century discourses: \u003cbr\u003eparticularly discourses about women and gender.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Engendering \u003cbr\u003eFictions' challenges the claims that modernism represents a complete \u003cbr\u003ebreak with the past. The history of modernism has been a story of the \u003cbr\u003eremoval of the 'great works' of modernist writing from the immediate \u003cbr\u003ematerial and historical circumstances of their origin, and their \u003cbr\u003einsertion into the timeless ideal order of the 'modern tradition'. \u003cbr\u003eFocusing on a wide range of authors, but particularly Woolf and \u003cbr\u003eLawrence, Lyn Pykett takes issue with this representation of modernism \u003cbr\u003eand shows how traditional views offer an impoverished response to the \u003cbr\u003ewriting of the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 July 1995\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780340562772\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51369716318348,"sku":"9780340562772","price":35.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_60ba53b5-bd77-4b9b-87a4-031a3863e82b.jpg?v=1783880257","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780340562772","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
