Defining The Intermodernist Sex/Gender System: Beginning Steps Using The Mortal Storm & Three Guineas

(almost done clearing out the graduate school queue)

For Dr. Bluemel’s seminar on Intermodernism, I wrote my seminar paper in an attempt to define some sort of “sex/gender” system for Intermodernism, beginning with her own full length George Orwell & The Radical Eccentrics: Intermodernism In Literary London. To do this, of course, I relied heavily on Gayle Rubin from a theoretical standpoint. From a literary point of view, my focus was on Phyllis Bottome’s The Mortal Storm and Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas.
