Women with Women, Without Men: the Emergence of Lesbian Themed Novels in 1920S and 1930S in London and Paris by Velid Beganovi
Women with Women, without Men: The Emergence of Lesbian Themed Novels in 1920s and 1930s in London and Paris By Velid Beganović Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Professor Erzsébet Barát Second Reader: Professor Jasmina Lukić CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary, 2010 This page intentionally left blank. CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract This thesis is a product of my interest in the pioneering, explicitly lesbian themed novels which started appearing in the late 1920s and early 1930s in London and Paris. By ‘lesbian themed novels’ I mean only those novels which were written by women, who themselves at some points in their lives were attracted to other women. Most of the analysis focuses on the period around the year of 1928, when three lesbian themed novels were published in English: Orlando: A Biography by Virginia Woolf, The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, and Ladies Almanack by Djuna Barnes. The first such explicitly lesbian novel in the French language, which was partially published in 1932, was The Pure and the Impure by Colette. The four novels, all came out of two quite famous smaller communities of London and Paris – the Bloomsbury group and the Left Bank community, respectively. In the thesis I am using the discourse analysis, as defined by Fran Tonkiss1 to try and pinpoint the various factors that influenced the writing, censuring, and printing of these novels. I conduct a closer reading of the novels themselves, the available biographical materials on the lives of the authors, as well as the criticism and studies that appeared after the books have been published. -

The New Woman & the Aesthetic Opening: Unlocking Gender in 20Th
New Woman with Old Feelings? Contrasting Kollontai’s and Colette’s Writings on Love Anna Rotkirch In her famous essay “The New Woman,” Russian socialist revolutionary Alexandra Kollontai (1872-1952) describes an ongoing transformation of the feminine psyche.1 The new, liberated woman faces obstacles not only from a hostile social order and possessive men, but also from her innermost self. As Kollontai puts it, “The power of past centuries still weighs heavily even upon the soul of the new, free woman. Atavistic feelings interrupt and weaken the new experiences, outlived conceptions hold the feminine mind thrusting towards freedom in their clutches.”2 Kollontai wrote in a socialist utopian tradition that envisaged a profound change of the human condition. The outlived conceptions were “still” present, but on their way to the museum of antiquated psychological responses. However, Kollontai did not postulate any mechanical causal relation between modes of production and psychic habits. Capitalism and industrialism had created the lifestyle of the professionally independent woman, but did not by themselves transform her ways of loving. Indeed, Kollontai’s main interest in this essay lay in analyzing the new female “psychological type” as a complex and socially influential force in its own right. In this analysis, she appeared to agree with a statement made in The Vagabond by French author Colette (1873- 1953)—“you have no worse enemy than yourself!”—the enemy in question being female heterosexual desire and love.3 The Vagabond is one of the works Kollontai often returned to in her portrait of the New Woman. Her essay repeats Colette’s warning about the “worst enemy” throughout—at the beginning, when the heroine, Renée, has left a humiliating marriage with her first great love and become a self-supporting artist, and at the end, when she abandons her new love and the prospect of 2 a cozy and prestigious marriage in order to continue her life as a free, dancing, and writing vagabond. -
Queer Desire and Narrative Fiction in the Works of Colette, Renee Vivien and Natalie Barney
QUEER DESIRE AND NARRATIVE FICTION IN THE WORKS OF COLETTE, RENEE VIVIEN AND NATALIE BARNEY by Sophie Yates A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English Charlotte 2020 Approved by: ____________________ Dr. Lara Vetter ________________________________________________ Dr. Alan Rauch ____________________ Dr. Juan Meneses ii ©2020 Sophie Yates ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT SOPHIE YATES. Queer Desire and Narrative Fiction in the Works of Colette, Renée Vivien and Natalie Barney. (Under the direction of DR. LARA VETTER) At the conclusion of the nineteenth century, Europe bore witness to what Lynne Huffer has termed “a crisis in sexual definition”, stemming from the gradual shift in popular conceptions of non-normative sexual acts as behaviors monitored by ecclesiastical authorities to symptoms of identities meant to be categorized and studied by the developing medical and psychological professions. As a result of this shift to the study and monitoring of sexual behaviors, those who attempted to record or define their own experiences as what we would now term queer individuals found their experiences often contradicted and countermanded by the identities outlined and defined by the medical professionals of the time. In this thesis, I examine the fictional works of three queer women writers whose work spanned the transition from the nineteenth to the twentieth century in France: Colette, Renée Vivien and Natalie Barney. Basing my analysis in the theoretical works of Leigh Gilmore, Sidonie Smith, Sashi Nair, and Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar regarding women’s autobiographical practices and the encoding of queer experience in modernist fiction, I examine the ways in which autobiography and fiction intertwine in the works of these three women.
