Opis

This study offers an original approach to modernist visual aesthetics, drawing on a range of photographic and visual theory, psychoanalytic theories of the visual and modernist criticism as well as on original archive research. The book covers the domestic photography of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, the cinema writing of Colette, H.D., Dorothy Richardson, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf and Bryher and the role of the visual in Virginia Woolf's image/text Three Guineas. Throughout, there is a concern with women's ways of looking and a critical exploration of how gendered subjectivities are visually constructed.
