Zusammenfassung:A uniquely comprehensive, groundbreaking two-volume study of Loy's relationship to the human body and soulThe first truly comprehensive critical study of Mina Loy, this Anatomy uniquely integrates her published poems, plays, essays, and fictions; her extant archives, and all eight of her romans à clefUncovers Loy's esoteric Eros, a theory that firmly establishes Loy's status as a modernist mystic and feminist visionaryOffers the first in-depth study of Loy's heterodox leanings that include the ancients (Plato, Sappho) and post-eighteenth-century occultism from mesmerism to post-Freudian psychoanalysis and beyondIncludes close examinations of previously undiscussed influences on Loy such as TheosophyIncorporating thinkers from Blavatsky to Bataille, gives the first comprehensive, oeuvre-long account of Loy's complex formulation of the "blind back"Nethered Regions - An Anatomy of Mina Loy provides new thinking on Loy's approach to the foundations of existence, exploring sentience, primitivism, evolution, vitalism and sensibility. Dubbing Loy an atavistic vanguardist, this book aligns sacrifice with satire, showing how Loy resists modernist anti-sentimentality by devising a feminist satirical mode in which sardonic aggression generates intimacy and proximity, rather than ironised distance. Loy's attention to 'low' body parts - feet, legs, genitals, bellies, wombs - is illuminated in chapters theorising her engagement with dissident sexualities (queerness, prostitution, women's pleasure); pictorialpoetic cartographies of desire; and the accursed muse, the unsung counterpart to the poète maudit
