The Modernist movement in literature had revolutionary aspirations
and pioneered new possibilities of literary expression. One of its
major projects was to question the nature of selfhood and to
rewrite personal experience in terms of fragmentation, conflict and
discontinuity. English literary Modernism, in particular, broke
down the assumption that self-experience is unitary and
coherent.;This book represents an exploration of the ways in which
key modern writers challenged conventional ways of characterizing
selfhood and, whether by poetic montage or stream-of-consciousness
writing, developed a discourse expressive of the subtleties of
experience in a post-Freudian world. It is argued that modernist
texts were involved in self-representation long before
post-structuralist or post-modernist theories were applied.
