This is the first book to explore the relationship between literary
modernism and the British Empire. Contributors look at works from
the traditional modernist canon as well as extending the range of
work addresses - particularly emphasising texts from the Empire. A
key issue raised is whether modernism sprang from a crisis in the
colonial system, which it sought to extend, or whether the modern
movement was a more sophisticated form of cultural imperialism. The
chapters in Modernism and empire show the importance of empire to
modernism. Patrick Williams theorises modernism and empire; Rod
Edmond discusses theories of degeneration in imperial and modernist
discourse; Helen Carr examines Imagism and empire; Elleke Boehmer
compares Leonard Woolf and Yeats; Janet Montefiore writes on
Kipling and Orwell, C.L. Innes explores Yeats, Joyce and their
implied audiences; Maire Ni Fhlathuin writes on Patrick Pearse and
modernism; John Nash considers newspapers, imperialism and Ulysses;
Howard J. Booth addresses D.H. Lawrence and otherness; Nigel Rigby
discusses Sylvia Townsend Warner and sexuality in the Pacific; Mark
Williams explores Mansfield and Maori culture; Abdulrazak Gurnah
looks at Karen Blixen, Elspeth Huxley and settler writing; and Bill
Ashcroft and John Salter take an inter-disciplinary approach to
Australia and 'Modernism's Empire'. -- .
