This book is concerned with the early twentieth-century intersection of scientific and religious discourse exploring literary modernism through the lens of cultural history. Focusing in particular on the works of H.D., Mina Loy, and Jean Toomer, Vetter argues that a peculiarly modern spiritual understanding of science appealed to modernist writers as a way of negotiating the perceived threats to a radically unstable body and of expressing their anxiety over a corresponding sense of a lack of control over that body, an anxiety particularly acute for women writers and writers of color, who have historically been denied that control. Spanning such topics as electromagnetism and sexuality, dance, and theories of spiritual evolution, the book's scope is broad, appealing to scholars of modernism, feminism and queer theory, performance studies, and race and ethnicity.
