Пол и модернизъм подлага модернистичното движение на критическа преоценка в търсене на отговор на въпроса доколко бунтът на самоназовалите се модернисти се ангажира с актуалните за времето полови норми, както и каква е ролята на радикалните реформатори в областта. Като се фокусира главно върху връзките между северноамериканските и европейските модернисти, Мария Букур демонстрира защо анализът на половите аспекти на модернизма е ключов за осмислянето на неговото наследство. Авторката се спира върху най-важните изследвания на движението и проследява как дефинициите за модернизма са еволюирали заедно с посветената му наука. ... |

Complete and unabridged. A pocket sized book - 10 x 15.5 cm. ... In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic license of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular 'room of one's own', prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theaters, A Room of One's Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an ... |
