Moving in Circles: Willa Muir's Writings

by Aileen Christianson

Moving in Circles: Willa Muir's Writings provides a re-evaluation of all her work, published and unpublished. It considers her in the contexts of modernism in Scotland and elsewhere; it also explores feminism of the 1920s and 30s and the extent to which her radical exploration of gender and the position of women underwrites all her work.
