Grotesque Relations: Modernist Domestic Fiction and the U.S. Welfare State
Edmunds, Susan (, Syracuse University)
This work explores the relationship between modernist domestic fiction and the rise of the US welfare state. This relationship, which began in the Progressive era, emerged as maternalist reformers developed an inverted discourse of social housekeeping in order to call for state protection and regulation of the home.
