In the early twentieth century the Modernist novel tested literary
conventions and expectations, challenging representations of
reality, consciousness and identity. These novels were not simply
creative masterpieces, however, but also crucial articulations of
revolutionary developments in critical thought.
Tracing the developing modernist aesthetic in the thought and
writings of James Joyce, Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf,
Deborah Parsons considers the cultural, social and personal
influences upon the three writers. Exploring the connections
between their theories, Parsons pays particular attention to their
work on:
- forms of realism
- characters and consciousness
- gender and the novel
- time and history.
An understanding of these three thinkers is fundamental to a grasp
on modernism, making this an indispensable guide for students of
modernist thought. It is also essential reading for those who wish
to understand debates about the genre of the novel or the nature of
literary expression, which were given a new impetus by the
pioneering figures of Joyce, Richardson and Woolf.
