English Novel in History, 1895-1920 (Paperback, New)

Whereas all previous studies have been rigorously selective, David Trotter's The English Novel 1895 - 1920 offers the first detailed analyses of the whole range of early twentieth-century fiction: from the innovations of Ulysses to popular mass-market detective stories. He devotes separate sections to James, Conrad, Kipling, Bennet, Lawrence, Lewis, and Joyce and discusses in detail important genres like New Woman novel and less well-known writers such as Violet Hunt and Patrick MacGill. He provides the first comprehensive account of the issues which preoccupied writers of all kinds: the spectacle of consumption, the emergence of suburbia, the emphasis on race and the repoloarisation of gender and argues that the fiction of the period has been seriously misrepresented by the critical and theoretical orthodoxies of the last fifty years. This is a challenging introduction to fiction of the period and one that will establish a new and more accurate method of classifying literary styles.
