  • Helen Mackay, American modernist: Finding a form for the Great War

    Margaret R HigonnetARTICLEFirst World War Studies2021

    Helen Gansevoort Mackay, a little-known writer from New York, spent much of her life in France, where she became Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur. During the Great War she published a book of poetry and two books of sketches based on her work as a nurse. Like Ellen N. La Motte and Mary Borden, two other Americans now canonized for sketches composed while they worked together at a hospital in Belgium, Mackay was a modernist whose voice is self-mo…

  • Other Fronts and Conflicts in German Nursing Accounts

    Margaret R HigonnetARTICLEJournal of War and Culture Studies2018References: 1

    Conflicts in German-speaking nurses’ accounts of the Great War point to the stress of their service in Finland, Russia, and Poland, as well as Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Croatia. Ranging from a seventeen-year-old volunteer to a trained middle-aged professional, these women worked first in the rear echelon, then also in field hospitals, sanitary trains and prison camps. Their diaries and letters express three kinds of conflict in line w…

  • This Winged Nature Fraught”: Suicide and Agency in Women's Poetry

    Open AccessMargaret R HigonnetARTICLELiterature Compass2015References: 1

    This essay focuses on representations of female suicide by Romantic poets Felicia Hemans and Mary Robinson. In short lyric narratives, the two poets exploited themes of maternal, revolutionary, and Sapphic suicide. Their literary representations of women's voluntary death can both draw from and generate narratives of political resistance: the repudiation of slavery, of empire, of tyranny. Female suicide may also invoke discourses about the nature…

  • The Cambridge History of the First World War

    Volume 3 of The Cambridge History of the First World War explores the social and cultural history of the war and considers the role of civil society throughout the conflict; that is to say those institutions and practices outside the state through which the war effort was waged.

  • The Return of the Native

    Thomas Hardy, Margaret R Higonnet et al.BOOKReturn of the Native2008Cited by: 1

    To be loved to madness - such was her great desire' Eustacia Vye criss-crosses the wild Egdon Heath, eager to experience life to the full in her quest for 'music, poetry, passion, war'. She marries Clym Yeobright, native of the heath, but his idealism frustrates her romantic ambitions and her discontent draws others into a tangled web of deceit and unhappiness. Early readers responded to Hardy's 'insatiably observant' descriptions of the heath, a…

  • Souvenirs of death

    Margaret R HigonnetARTICLEJournal of War and Culture Studies2007References: 1

    War souvenirs collected from 1914 to 1918 by soldiers and civilians, men and women, offered a symbolic route of communication with the realm of death. Through the culture of war objects, collectors consciously staked claims about historical authenticity and about military power. For the soldier, a souvenir could serve as an aide-mmoire to actualize the past and to trigger narrative. For a grieving widow, a souvenir might memorialize the dead. Jus…

    This collection of essays looks at literary representations of space - physical, psychological political and cultural - from a perspective that is at once comparative and feminist. Combining historical analysis with literary theory, contributors explore changing definitions of woman's place through such themes as exile and exclusion, property and territoriality, and body as interface between individual and communal identities. They show how maps …
