The Labors of Modernism

Viac o knihe

The book explores the overlooked influence of domestic servants on Modernist fiction, focusing on authors like Virginia Woolf and Gertrude Stein. It argues that the unique position of servants in these narratives compels readers to view them not merely as characters but as essential contributors to the literary process and the domestic environments that foster creativity. Through this lens, the analysis reveals deeper insights into the dynamics of class and labor within the context of Modernist literature.
