Reviews

"While Thorson's book is grounded in long-gestating research and writing, it takes inspiration from current research on gender and modernism as well as relatively recent critical notions such as ""geo-modernism"" and discussions surrounding intersectionality. It hence offers several layers of analysis: deep textual work; the very rich reconstruction of intellectual, social, and life contexts situating these ideas and texts; and, finally, the theoretical concerns of current scholarship. * JOURNAL OF AUSTRIAN STUDIES *"


Using an intersectional feminist lens in her analysis of Meisel-Hess's oeuvre, Thorson uncovers the dynamic relationship between categories such as gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class, and religion. ...Thorson's expansive study of this fascinating woman will be of interest to literary scholars, historians, and sociologists alike. * GERMAN STUDIES REVIEW * While Thorson's book is grounded in long-gestating research and writing, it takes inspiration from current research on gender and modernism as well as relatively recent critical notions such as ""geo-modernism"" and discussions surrounding intersectionality.
