| Sumario: | This engaging textbook provides a critical assessment of British modernist literature produced between 1900 and 1945.

A final chapter covers the 1940s and beyond looking at new literary and artistic movements and 'other' modernisms. Covering canonical texts and lesser-known works, Modernist Literature introduces students to current debates in Modernism and a range of literature in its historical and aesthetic contexts. Key Features Examines four distinct genres - the short story, poetry, novel and documentary - decade-by-decade. Combines close readings with cultural and political analyses of British modernism. Includes a Chronology and Further Readings with each chapter. |
