- This monograph is a rigorous and interdisciplinary investigation of modernist poetry through the lens of technology and feminist gender studies. Goody considers twentieth-century philosophy and literature through an array of deeply researched cultural practices (advertising, consumerism, dance, cinema, radio and phonography). Attending to canonical and non-canonical figures side by side, and including new archival material, Goody’s theoretically informed discussion reveals how modernist women poets were inspired by leisure technologies to write new versions of the gendered subject. Her wide-ranging methodology attends both to the linguistic and formal innovations of modernist writing and to the politics of gendered embodiment.
