'These refreshing essays remind us of what we have lost in forgetting May Sinclair and do much to restore her to her rightful place as a pioneering writer and intellectual. Bowler and Drewery deserve praise for reviving Sinclair's reputation, a revival that is likely to last far longer than her shameful neglect. ' Scott McCracken, Queen Mary University of London Explores the tension between the abstract intellect and material bodies in May Sinclair's writing May Sinclair was a bestselling author of her day whose versatile literary output, including criticism, philosophy, poetry, psychoanalysis and experimental fiction, now frequently falls between the established categories of literary modernism. In terms of her contribution to dominant modernist paradigms she was, until recently, best remembered for recasting the psychological novel as 'stream of consciousness' narrative in a 1918 review of Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage. This book brings together the most recent research on Sinclair and re-contextualises her work both within and against dominant Modernist narratives. It explores Sinclair's negotiations between the public and private, the cerebral and the corporeal, and the spiritual and the profane in both her fiction and non-fiction. Rebecca Bowler is Lecturer in Twentieth-Century English Literature at Keele University and the author of Literary Impressionism: Vision and Memory in Dorothy Richardson, Ford Madox Ford, H. D. , and May Sinclair (2016). Claire Drewery is Senior Lecturer in English and Education Studies at Sheffield Hallam University. She is the author of Modernist Short Fiction by Women: The Liminal in Katherine Mansfield, Dorothy Richardson, May Sinclair and Virginia Woolf (2011).
