- Authors
Hapgood, Lynne; Hopkins, Chris; Lea, Daniel; Nash, John; Jones, Bethan; Paxton, Nancy
- Abstract
This section provides an overview of the published works on modern literature in the pre-1945 era. Michael Steinman's edition of the selected letters of Sylvia Townsend Warner and William Maxwell, The Element of Lavishness: Letters of Sylvia Townsend Warner and William Maxwell, 1938-1978, is a remarkable testament to their friendship. There are few writers whose letters merit as much attention as their fiction, but these letters to Warner's American editor, William Maxwell, are works of art in themselves, and Steinman's selection creates a satisfying coherence out of a sample of a correspondence that lasted for forty years. Sylvia Townsend Warner is the focus of Gay Wachman's Lesbian Empire: Radical Crosswriting in the Twenties, both for her oppositional feminist politics and what Wachman calls her literary crosswriting.
