This thesis examines Janet Flanner, an expatriate writer whose fiction and
journalism have been essential to the development of American literary modernism in
that her work, taken together, comprises a remarkable autobiographical document which
records her own unique experience of the period while simultaneously contributing to its
particular aesthetic mission. Although recent discussions have opened debate as to how a
variety of discourses can be read as autobiographical, Flanner’s fifty years worth of
cultural, political, and personal observation requires an analysis which incorporates
traditional and contemporary theories concerning life-writing. Essentially,
autobiographical scholarship must continue to push the boundaries of analysis, focusing
on the interactions and reactions between the outer world and the inner self. This thesis,
therefore, will situate Janet Flanner as an important writer whose experience among the
modernist literary community in Europe informs, and is recorded in, her writing. / v, 93 leaves ; 29 cm.
