For a long time, people had been schooled to think of modern
literature's relationship to politics as indirect or obscure, and
often to find the politics of literature deep within its
unconsciously ideological structures and forms. But
twentieth-century writers were directly involved in political
parties and causes, and many viewed their writing as part of their
activism. This Companion tell a story of the rich and diverse ways
in which literature and politics over the twentieth century
coincided, overlapped - and also clashed. Covering some of the
century's most influential political ideas, moments, and movements,
nineteen academic experts uncover new ways of thinking about the
relationship between literature and politics. Liberalism,
communism, fascism, suffragism, pacifism, federalism, different
nationalisms, civil rights, women's rights, sexual rights,
Indigenous rights, environmentalism, neoliberalism:
twentieth-century authors wrote in direct response to political
movements, ideas, events, and campaigns.
