Abstract

Traditionally the use of a mythical method, as opposed to a narrative method, has been considered as a means of ordering the chaos of contemporary history. Moreover, this method has sometimes been used as a w q of constructing gender representations, and, given the frequency of representations of non-orthodox or polymorphous sexuality in modernist literature, becomes a device well-worth commentary. Eliot's Tiresias and Woors Orlando can be seen as illustrations of this. A less known case would be that of Mrs Dallowq , where Woovuses a mythical pattern, such as that of the Phoenix, in order to frame her own conception of gender and to provide a structure for a less rigid vision of sexual identity.
