- Description
- The authors argue that Sinclair, pseudonym of Mary Amelia St. Clair (1862-1946), embodied the contradictions of her era: both Victorian and modern time. By examining Sinclair's writings they engage with the cultural and literary phenomena Sinclair herself criqued and influenced: the evolving literary marketplace, changing sexual and social mores, developments in the fields of psychology, the women's suffrage movement, and World War I. Through her writing Sinclair was connected with authors such as James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Ford Madox Ford, Charlotte Mew and Dorothy Richardson.
