This thought-provoking and overdue study offers a radically new perspective on the literature of the inter-war period. Writing from a feminist-materialist perspective, the author analyses novels of sensibility, domestic fictions, lesbian writing, autobiography, speculative fiction and anti-fascist writing by Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, Rosamond Lehmann Radclyffe Hall, and many others.

Maroula Joannou provides an incisive scholarly and accessible feminist critique of the masculinist assumptions about literature of the 1920's and 1930's which have passed without adequate critical scrutiny.
