Title
Modernists Explain Things to Me: Collecting as Queer Feminist Response
Document Type
Essay
Annotation
Uses memoirs by Margaret Anderson, Sylvia Beach, and Alice B. Toklas to illustrate the marginalization of queer literary women of the 20th century but also their authors' roles as archivists of modernism. Laments, for example, the absence of scholarship or biographical interest in Anderson, co-editor of the Little Review. Hemingway's appearance here is generally tangential or implied.
