(2021). Nonhuman Animals and Decorative Modernism in Djuna Barnes and Mina Loy. Women: A Cultural Review: Vol. 32, WOMEN MODERNISTS AND THE DECORATIVE: DISSIDENT INTERSECTIONS. Guest-edited by Lottie Whalen and Jade Elizabeth French, pp. 8-31
Modernist Poetry, Gender and Leisure Technologies

BBC Features, Radio Voices and the Propaganda of War 1939–1941
BBC Radio drama, and especially feature programmes, became a crucial vehicle at the beginning of the Second World War for articulating a sense of national unity and for providing accounts of the war that could counteract Nazi propaganda. This essay will explore the feature series Shadow of the Swastika (1939–40), Terence Horsley’s Narvik (1940) and Cecil McGivern’s The Battle of Britain (1941), examining how the aesthetics of this radiogenic genr…
Radio at Home
In the years before, and at the outbreak of, the Second World War radio drama on the BBC emerged as a genre through which particular questions about nation, home, decency and morality were articulated. At the same time listener research developed, under the auspices of Reith's BBC, as a vehicle for understanding the preferences, habits and situations of the radio audience. Drama and Features were the first areas of radio output subject to targete…
Spectacle, Technology and Performing Bodies
Djuna Barnes’s journalism has often been taken as a testing ground for ideas she explored further in her later writing, and particularly in Nightwood (1936). Much of the time in criticism Barnes’s oeuvre has been subsumed into this novel, praised somewhat ambiguously by T. S. Eliot in his ‘Introduction’ to the 1937 edition.1 Barnes wrote much besides Nightwood, texts which are just as, if not more, interesting for the scholar of modernism. Barnes…
Empire, Motherhood and the Poetics of the Self in Mina Loy's Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose
The modernist poet Mina Loy often drew on personal experience in her writing, but these biographical aspects are coded and disguised in her complex poetry. Nevertheless many critics have attempted to relate the assumed identities of Loy's writing to the facts of her life. Informed by recent feminist scholarship on autobiography and engaging with a range of criticism on Loy, criticism that considers both the feminist and the racial aspects of her …
Murder in Mile End
The work of Amy Levy, as a Jewish, feminist, lesbian writer at the fin de siècle , coincides with what Sally Ledger and Roger Luckhurst describe as a “crucial moment in the formation and transformation of [the] object[s] of study” of “cultural and social historians, urban theorists, literary critics, post-colonial critics, feminist writers, and gay and lesbian theorists” (xiv). The concern of this article, rather than co-opting Levy into a partic…
