Maud Ellmann is the Randy L. & Melvin R. Berlin Professor of the Development of the Novel in English at the University of Chicago and Professor of English Literature at Swansea University. Her main research interests lie in the area of European and British Modernism, psychoanalysis and feminism. Her latest book, entitled, The Nets of Modernism, attempts to sharpen our sense of the ‘dissolution of the self’ in modernist fiction, particularly by exploring the significance of images of bodily violation and exchange – scars, bites, wounds, and their psychic equivalents – to the modernist imagination.
