Abstract
AbstractThis essay discusses the development of transnational scholarship in modernist studies and asks whether this development can amplify and enliven the sub‐field of women’s literature within modernist studies. It argues that transnational scholarship decenters Eurocentrist models of knowledge and history by tracing lateral networks among women writers that bypass the center‐periphery models of empire. It examines the recent transnational scholarship by Mary Lou Emery on Jean Rhys and Una Marson and concludes that a transnational ethic of reading demands that we hold contradictory and multiple perspectives in view at once. Such a mode of reading offers an important new lens for recovering women’s literature from both colony and metropole.
