"Before lesbianism became a specific identity category in the West, its mere suggestion functioned as a powerful source of scandal in early twentieth-century British and Anglo-American culture. Reconsidering notions of the 'invisible' or 'apparitional' lesbian, Jodie Medd argues that lesbianism's representational instability, and the scandals it generated, rendered it an influential force within modern politics, law, art and the literature of modernist writers like James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Virginia Woolf. Medd's analysis draws on legal proceedings and parliamentary debates as well as crises within modern literary production - patronage relations, literary obscenity and cultural authority - to reveal how lesbian suggestion forced modern political, cultural and literary institutions to negotiate their own identities, ideals and limits. Medd's text will be of great interest to scholars and graduate students in gender and women's studies, modernist literary studies and English literature."

"Many critics argue that the modernist avant-garde were always in opposition to the commercial values of market-driven society. For John Xiros Cooper, the avant-garde bears a more complex relationto capitalist culture than previously acknowledged. He argues thatin their personal relationships, gender roles, and sexual contacts, themodernist avant-garde epitomized the impact of capitalism on everyday life. Cooper shows how the new social, cultural, and economic practices aimed to defend cultural values in a commercial age, but,in this task, modernism became the subject of a profound historical irony. Its own characterizing techniques, styles, and experiments,deployed to resist the new nihilism of the capitalist market, eventually became the preferred cultural style of the very market culturewhich the first modernists opposed. In this broad-ranging study John Xiros Cooper explores this provocative theme across a wide range ofModernist authors, including Joyce, Eliot, Stein, and Barnes."
