About this book

Tracing the changing conceptions of nationality in the work of traveling writers such as D.H. Lawrence, Gertrude Stein, and Claude McKay, Modernism and Mobility argues that the passport system is an indispensable segue into discussions of literary modernism.

Reviews

“Bridget Chalk’s Modernism and Mobility: The Passport and Cosmopolitan Experience (2014) is the first book-length study taking up this recognition of the modern passport’s impact on modern literature, and it arrives none too soon in the burgeoning field of literary passport studies. … Chalk’s book is a welcome and necessary contribution to modernist studies, and the incipient area of literary passport studies.” (Nissa Ren Cannon, Journal of Modern Literature, Vol. 41 (1), 2017)
