Gender on the Divide: The Dandy in Modernist LiteratureCornell University Press, 1993 - 293 pages Taking issue with a substantial body of criticism predicated upon the differences between men and women, Feldman reinterprets modernism. She traces the influence of the dandy, as depicted by the 19th-century French writers Theophile Gautier, Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly, and Charles Baudelaire, on the work of the three 20th-century writers, Willa Cather, Wallace Stevens, and Vladimir Nabokov.
