Über den Autor / die Autorin

Hannah Roche is lecturer in twentieth-century literature and culture at the University of York. She has published articles on lesbian modernism in Textual Practice and Modernist Cultures.

Zusammenfassung

Hannah Roche reinterprets three major modern lesbian writers, showing how literary and affective romance played a crucial yet overlooked role in the works of Gertrude Stein, Radclyffe Hall, and Djuna Barnes. The Outside Thing is a significant rethinking of the interconnections between queer writing, lesbian living, and literary modernism.

Zusatztext

It seems an apt time to be considering the ways the pre-sexological narrative forms of depicting intimacy between women filter into the modern moment. Roche provides us with a resource for doing just that.
