| This article surveys H.D.’s treatment of India in the 1940s, offering a reading of a neglected late modernist text, White Rose and the Red . A fictionalization of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the novel is also a meditation on the intersection of gender and empire. Layering the violence of three historical periods—the Crusades, the Victorian era, and the 1940s—the novel maps the mangled, disintegrating body of Dante Rossetti’s wife, Elizabeth Siddall, to lands ravaged and apportioned by European imperialist missions. A consideration of H.D.’s engagement with India exposes the difficulty of teasing out a coherent position on issues of nation, race, or imperialism by late modernists, and more case studies such as this one will undoubtedly enrich a sense of the literary period that, from a scholarly standpoint, is in its infancy. | |
