Select Bibliography
Maureen Moynagh is an Associate Professor of English at St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish.
“This is a timely and much-needed edition.” ― Jane Marcus, CUNY
Graduate Center and the City College of New York
“Assembling Cunard’s key political writings on race and
imperialism, and graced with a well-informed critical introduction,
this beautifully conceived anthology also facilitates discussion of
the complex intersections of gender with other issues and forms of
identification in modernism. The appendices set Cunard’s texts into
their original relation with contemporary modernist debates. An
invaluable resource.” ― Bonnie Kime Scott, San Diego State
University
“This wonderful selection of Cunard’s work gives us new insight
into the race politics of the twentieth century and the modernist
project. Moynagh’s excellent introduction situates Cunard’s
writings and identifications in fascinating and illuminating ways.
This is a terrific collection.” ― Laura Marcus, University of
Sussex
“Moynagh’s insightful, inclusive, yet theoretically specific
introduction to this collection of Cunard’s essays, complemented by
a cogent selection of appendices, provide the relevant cultural and
historical grounds to understand Cunard and the implications her
work holds for current scholarship. Reading Cunard’s essays through
Moynagh’s carefully crafted context makes possible further
revisionist readings of modernism by situating Nancy Cunard and her
writing on race and empire in a way that advances understanding of
the interdependent relationship between radical politics, gender,
race and modernism.” ― Holly McSpadden, Missouri Southern State
University, in English Studies in Canada
