{"product_id":"9781399516907","title":"Clemence Dane and Good Housekeeping : Modernity and Common Reading by Stella Deen","description":"Clemence Dane and Good Housekeeping: Modernity and Common Reading examines Dane's tenure as a literary critic for Good Housekeeping  between 1923 and 1933, firmly locating it within a vibrant interwar  periodical culture. By expressing confidence in a shared literary  heritage, modelling enjoyment of a wide variety of literature and  linking women's reading habits to the revitalisation of national  literary culture, Dane's serial essays implicitly challenged academic  and modernist approaches to literature. Moreover, Dane's monthly book  pages, in dialogue with book authors and with other feminist  contributors, fulfilled and exceeded Good Housekeeping's mission  by preparing women for their new responsibilities as British citizens.  Dane's journalism sheds new light on the heterogeneity intrinsic to  quality domestic magazines and the roles they played in fostering  women's multi-faceted modern identities. Stella Deen demonstrates that  Dane's corpus of Good Housekeeping essays makes a significant  contribution to the conceptualisation of the common reader and to the  history of twentieth-century literary criticism.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312270127477,"sku":"9781399516907","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781399516907.jpg?v=1762821280","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781399516907","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
