Transatlantic Modernism

Angebote / Angebote:

Martin Halliwell traces the intersection of artistic and moral ideas in European and American literary modernism, focusing on a range of decadent, naturalist, avant-garde, and expatriate authors writing between 1890 and 1940. Halliwell challenges traditional views of modernism, arguing that early twentieth-century writers such as Conrad, Faulkner, Gide, Kafka, Mann, and Stein devised new aesthetic techniques to address ethical problems. Part I deals with decadence and naturalism, Part II symbolic centers of modernism, Part III sexual and cultural difference, and Part IV modernist trickery. In this new edition, Halliwell explores modernist traditions in the twenty-first century, literary responses to the 9/11 attacks, and the shifting parameters of national morality.
