The poet's newly discovered novel of reporting on the Spanish Civil War "is both an absorbing read and an important contribution to 20th-century history" (Publishers Weekly).
As a young reporter in 1936, the pioneering poet and political activist Muriel Rukeyser traveled to Barcelona to witness the first days of the Spanish Civil War. She turned this experience into an autobiographical novel so forward thinking--both in its lyrical prose and its frank depictions of violence and sexuality--that it was never published in her lifetime. Recently discovered in her archive, Feminist Press finally makes this important work available to the public.
Savage Coast charts a young American woman's political and sexual awakening as she witnesses the popular front resistance to the fascist coup and falls in love with a German political exile who joins the first international brigade. Rukeyser's narrative is a modernist exploration of violence, activism, and desire; a documentary text detailing the start of the war; and a testimony to those who fought and died for freedom and justice during the first major battle against European fascism.
Rowena Kennedy-Epstein is Lecturer in Gender and Women's Writing of the 20th and 21st Centuries at the University of Bristol, where she coordinates the Global Feminisms research cluster. She recovered and edited Muriel Rukeyser's lost Spanish Civil War novel Savage Coast (Feminist Press 2013), as well as the edition "Barcelona, 1936" & Selections from the Spanish Civil War Archive (CUNY 2011). Her scholarship and writing has appeared or is forthcoming in Modern Fiction Studies, The Journal of Narrative Theory, Modernism/Modernity, Literature and History, Textual Practice, the Paris Review Daily, and the Harper's blog, as well as in collections from Edinburgh University Press and Northwestern University Press. She is currently editing a special issue on "Women's Experimental Forms" for The Journal of Narrative Theory and completing a monograph on Muriel Rukeyser and the Cold War.
