商品簡介
The modernist period was an era of war and violent revolution. Covering a wide range of authors, from Ford Madox Ford and Virginia Woolf to Louis-Ferdinand Celine, W.H. Auden and Elizabeth Bowen, this book situates modernism's extraordinary literary achievements in their contexts of historical violence. Ranging from the colonial conflicts of the late 19th-century to literary responses to the Great War and the institutionalization of modernism in the aftermath of the Second World War.Modernism, War, and Violence provides a starting point for readers who are new to these topics and offers a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the field for a more advanced audience.
