An engagement with the continued importance of modernism is vital
for building a nuanced account of the development of the novel
after 1945. Bringing together internationally distinguished
scholars of twentieth- and twenty-first-century literature, these
essays reveal how the most innovative writers working today draw on
the legacies of modernist literature. Dynamics of influence and
adaptation are traced in dialogues between authors from across the
twentieth century: Lawrence and A. S. Byatt, Woolf and J. M.
Coetzee, Forster and Zadie Smith. The book sets out new critical
and disciplinary foundations for rethinking the very terms we use
to map the novel's progression and renewal, enhancing our
understanding not only of what modernism was but also what it might
still become. With its global reach, The Legacies of Modernism will
appeal to scholars working not only in the new modernist studies,
but also in postcolonial studies and comparative literature.
