      abstract = {This book scrutinizes a range of relatively overlooked  post-WWII British women writers who sought to demonstrate  that narrative prose fiction offered rich possibilities for  aesthetic innovation. What unites all the primary authors  in this volume is a commitment to challenging the tenets of  British mimetic realism as a literary and historical  phenomenon. This collection reassesses how British female  novelists operated in relation to transnational vanguard  networking clusters, debates and tendencies, both political  and artistic. The chapters collected in this volume  enquire, for example, whether there is something  fundamentally different (or politically dissident) about  female experimental procedures and perspectives. This book  also investigates the processes of canon formation, asking  why, in one way or another, these authors have been  sidelined or misconstrued by recent scholarship.  Ultimately, it seeks to refine a new research archive on  mid-century British fiction by female novelists at least as  diverse as recent and longer established work in the domain  of modernist studies. Andrew Radford is Senior Lecturer in  modernist and contemporary Anglo-American Literature at the  University of Glasgow, UK. He has published The Occult  Imagination in Britain 1875-1947 (2018) and has co-edited  two previous collections of essays: Franco-British Cultural  Exchanges, 1880-1940: Channel Packets (2012), and Modernist  Women Writers and Spirituality: A Piercing Darkness (2017).  Hannah Van Hove is a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Research  Foundation Flanders at the Free University in Brussels,  Belgium, where she is conducting a research project on  British post-war experimental women's writing. She  completed her PhD on the fiction of Anna Kavan, Alexander  Trocchi and Ann Quin at the University of Glasgow, UK, in  2017. She is Chair of the Anna Kavan Society and sits on  the editorial board of the Journal for Literary and  Intermedial Crossings.},
