Modernist Literature Bewertungen

Ambitiously diverse and unsettling, a book that responds provocatively to the challenges it poses. --David Bradshaw, University of Oxford In this sharp, thoughtful and clearly-written book, modernism is not simply a descriptive category pigeon-holing a literary period; it is made both more problematic (as when its ending is linked with the holocaust) and empowering. Boldly redefining the field, Mahaffey throws a truly original light on the social, political and ethical relevance of main modernist 'chronicles of disorder,' showing convincingly how they challenge repressive authorities as well as the reader's ingrained passivity. --Jean-Michel Rabate, University of Pennsylvania This intelligent, strongly argued book reconceives the term 'modernist' to mean modern literature that challenges the reader because of its originality, complexity, obscurity, or transgressive nature. (Choice)
