Contents Introduction: articulating the corporeum: formulating the feminine and illuminating the images of physical, geographical, national and textual embodiment -- The shape of modernism: female embodiment and textual experimentation in Mrs. Dalloway -- Exposure and development: re-imagining narrative and nation in the interludes of Virginia Woolf's The waves -- Modernist con(tra)ceptions: re-conceiving body and text in Olive Moore's Spleen -- Flight of the feminine and textual orientation in Olive Moore's Fugue -- Epilogue: feminine form and textual reform Summary This study considers the work of two experimental British women modernists writing in the tumultuous interwar period--Virginia Woolf and Olive Moore--by examining four crucial incarnations of female embodiment and subjectivity: female bodies, geographical imagery, national ideology and textual experimentation. Dickinson proposes that the ways Mrs. Dalloway, and The Waves by Virginia Woolf and Spleen and Fugue by Olive Moore reflect, expose and criticize physical, geographical and national bodies in the narrative and form of their texts reveal the authors' attempts to try on new forms and experiment with new possibilities of female embodiment and subjectivity Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Master and use copy.
