Opis

This study corrects wisdom that only men can be dandies. Revising dandyism to include women dandies offers new interpretations of Edith Sitwell, Nancy Cunard, and Mina Loy, whose poetry and photography feed into each other to produce queer authorial performances, redefining the synergy of dandyism and authorship in modernist literary culture.
