AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This article exploresthe thematic and culural connections between the work of American-born modernist poet and novelist H.D. (1886-1961) and the Australian-born postmodern novelist Janett Turner Hospital (born 1972). It suggests that the transnational phenomenon of ecstatic Protestantism, which originated in northern Europe and was disseminated widely around the globe along the channels of commerce and colonisation, has been a key influence in shaping the literary imaginations of these writers. Indeed, Protestantism - far from being a spent or reactive force - continues to generate new forms of modernity as its emphasis on transformation is exported from somewhat inward-looking religious communities into broader cultural domains.' Belinda Mckay.
