Full Description
Nancy Cunard: Perfect Stranger reshapes our understanding of a woman, whose role in key historical,
political, and cultural moments of the 20th century was either
dismissed and attacked, or undervalued. Here, Jane Marcus, who was one of the
most insightful critics of modernism and a pioneering feminist scholar, is
unafraid and unapologetic in addressing and contesting Nancy Cunard's
reputation and reception as a spoiled heiress and "sexually dangerous New
Woman." Instead, with her characteristic provocative and energetic writing
style, Marcus insists we reconsider
issues of gender, race, and class in relation to the accusations, stereotypes,
and scandal, which have dominated, and continue to dominate, our perception of
Cunard in the public record. In the wake of inadequate histories of radical writing
and activism, Nancy Cunard: Perfect
Stranger brings its subject into the 21st century, offering a
bold and innovative portrait of a woman we all thought we knew.
