Sapphic Modernities Sexuality, Women and

This book marks the first attempt to examine the representation of the lesbian in modernity from the multiple perspectives of literary, visual, and cultural studies, seeking collectively to answer: What range of "sapphisms" circulated in Britain during the interwar period, and what forms of cultural production enabled the lesbian's emergence and self-definition?

Laura Doan is a Reader in Women's and Gender Studies, University of Manchester, UK, and Co-Director of the Centre for the Study of Sexuality and Culture. Jane Garrity is Associate Professor of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
