Mary Butts : Necessary Contradictions and Feminist Reconstructions

Established and new scholars, publishers, printers, and artists enter into conversation exploring the work of British author Mary Butts. Taking its cue from Butts's experimental, rhythmic writing, the collection is a non-linear exchange of essays and responses. Chapters range between Butts's writing techniques and forms, her position in the modernist canon, contested sites of feminism in her work, and queer and post-critical readings. The collection looks to be a feminist engagement, while asking questions of what this might look like, why it is needed, and how such an approach offers fresh insight into an erudite, playful, contradictory, and experimental body of work--
