  • HISTORY
  • 1987
  • PAPER
  • 566 PAGES

An insightful look at the critical role of American, English and French women in the Lost Generation. Benstock creates 24 distinct portraits, including Gertrude Stein and Jean Rhys. Simultaneously literary, historical and feminist in her approach, she shows the importance of the feminine sensibility, and especially the lesbian experience, in the formation of the modernist voice.  (FRN98, $34.95)
