Description
The modernist period was marked by world war and violent revolution. This book explores how the extraordinary literary achievements of this era were shaped by their contexts of historical violence, from colonial conflicts to the world wars and civil wars that followed. Covering a wide range of authors, including Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, Elizabeth Bowen, and Samuel Beckett, the book examines how the relationships between modernism and conflict have been understood over the past fifty years. It provides a comprehensive survey of the field for both new readers and those seeking an up-to-date overview.
