Review

“Modernism and the Architecture of Private Life, Victoria Rosner’s new study of the shaping role played by interior design in the evolution of literary modernism, is a book of enormous interest, refinement, and originality. The overarching subject — the relation between psychic life and private space — is a profound one; the treatment of individual authors — Wilde, Woolf, Strachey, Forster — full of insight. It reminds one in a way of one of those stylish Omega Workshop textiles Rosner describes so well-being colorful, refreshing, and immediately engaging, but also wrought with intelligen ce and wit. A superb book on the history of modernism in Britain between the wars.” — Terry Castle, editor of The Literature of Lesbianism
