Description
No Man's Land: The Place of the Woman Writer in the Twentieth Century by Sandra M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar explores the connections between femininity and modernity through the works of writers such as Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, and Caryl Churchill.
Investigating the impact of the Great War on masculinity, Gilbert and Gubar argue that the "no man's land" became a metaphor for a crisis of identity, one that was also associated with the decline of imperialism and the rise of new literary perspectives.
This landmark study examines how writers sought to challenge each other's conceptions of sex and gender through their works, including fictions about transvestism and transsexualism. The result is a nuanced exploration of the complex relationships between anatomy, destiny, and identity in the early twentieth century.
