Staging Modernist Lives H.D., Mina Loy, Nancy Cunard, Three Plays and Criticism

"Thought-provoking, well-researched, and handled with artistry, Staging Modernist Lives is valuable both for the way it illuminates modernist work and for how it explores new research methods that are grounded in performance. Sasha Colby makes a strong case for the importance of approaching--and researching--the work of these modernist writers through the genre of dramatic biography."
