TL;DR: The Savage Coast as discussed by the authors is a lost, unpublished novel by the American poet Muriel Rukeyser, who traveled to Spain to report on the People's Olympiad, an alternative to Hitler's Berlin games.
Abstract: In 1936, the American poet Muriel Rukeyser traveled to Spain to report on the People’s Olympiad, an alternative to Hitler’s Berlin games. Instead, she witnessed the outbreak of civil war. Rukeyser’s writings on her experience span more than forty years, including a lost, unpublished novel, Savage Coast . Recently recovered from her archive, the novel is significant because it hybridizes the forms of aesthetic and political modernism and provides a more complex understanding of how women modernists write about politics and history through modes that both interrogate and transform the boundaries of genre.
