Review
“A cogent and careful project…This timely work will appeal to a broad readership increasingly interested in relationships between literary and theatre/Performance Studies. It reveals key and often unexpected connections between major modernist writers, offers illuminating new readings of well known texts, and promotes hitherto less-known works.”—Alan Ackerman, University of TorontoProduct Description
In this elegant book, modernism is illuminated through little-known but striking works by Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, and others who revived the “closet drama”—plays written largely for private reading—as a means of Exploring Forbidden Sexualities.About the Author
