Daniel R. Schwarz has studied and taught the modern British and
Irish novel for decades and now brings his impressive erudition and
critical acuity to bear in this insightful study of the major
authors and novels from 1890--1930.
After a compelling introduction outlining his method and a
substantial first chapter establishing the intellectual, cultural,
and literary contexts in which the modern British and Irish novel
was produced, Schwarz turns to powerful and sensitive close reading
of modernist masterworks. He shows how Hardy's "Jude the Obscure,"
Conrad's "Heart of Darkness "and "Lord Jim," Lawrence's "Sons and
Lovers" and "The Rainbow," Joyce's "Dubliners" and "Ulysses,"
Woolf's "Mrs Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse,""" and Forster's "A
Passage to India" form essential components in a modernist cultural
tradition which includes the visual arts.
In his characteristic lucid and readable style, Schwarz's work
takes account of recent developments in theory and cultural
studies. His persuasive study will not only be invaluable to
students and teachers, but will also be of interest to the general
reader.
