Reviews

'In her groundbreaking new book Excursions Into Modernism, Joyce E. Kelley shows how travel shaped the production of women's imaginative fiction in ways not always acknowledged in conventional genealogies of modernism. By addressing issues of race and class, and by focusing on concepts such as illness, pregnancy, and even the piano, Kelley provides a rich, thoughtful, and rigorous reevaluation of the landscape of modernism even as she extends its geography not only externally on the globe but internally. Kelley's book will prove to be indispensable not only to the field of travel studies but to the new modernist studies as well.' David Farley, St John's University, USA
