| الوصف: | This article seeks to open up comparative, transversal scholarship on the representation of queer women in Europe. Engaging critically with associations of lesbians with modernism, analysis draws on Heather Love’s concept of “backwards modernism”, and Susan Lanser’s notion of “confluence” to bring into dialogue two underexplored novels that recount the queer experiences of young women in England and France: Rosamund Lehmann’s Dusty Answer (1927) and Jeanne Galzy’s Jeunes filles en serre chaude (1934). We identify several striking points of convergence between the novels, and argue that while they are both ambiguous in their portrayal of non-normative sexuality, they show how early queer sexual experiences are far from a “passing phase”; rather they are transformative. ; Questo articolo intende aprire una ricerca comparata e trasversale sulla rappresentazione delle donne queer in Europa. Attraverso un confronto critico con la letteratura critica su lesbismo e modernismo, l’analisi prende le mosse dal concetto di “modernismo nostalgico” di Heather Love, e dalla nozione di “confluenza” di Susan Lanser, per porre a confronto due romanzi ancora poco studiati che narrano le esperienze queer di due giovani donne in Inghilterra e Francia: Dusty Answer di Rosamund Lehmann’s (1927) e Jeunes filles en serre chaude (1934) di Jeanne Galzy. Identifichiamo diversi importanti punti di convergenza tra i due romanzi, e dimostriamo che, anche se sono entrambi ambigui nelle loro descrizioni delle sessualità non-normative, essi mostrano come le esperienze sessuali queer in giovane età non siano solo “fasi transitorie”, ma che abbiano invece una funzione trasformativa. |
