This book demonstrates that, rather than being an exceptional or
unusual phenomenon, multilingualism is fundamental to modernist
fiction. Focusing on the use of different languages by key
modernist writers including D.H. Lawrence, Dorothy Richardson,
Katherine Mansfield, Jean Rhys, James Joyce and Samuel Beckett,
Juliette Taylor-Batty examines the textual representation of
interlingual encounters, the stylisation of translational
discourse, the use of interlingual compositional processes, and the
deliberate mixing of languages for stylistic purposes. She
demonstrates that linguistic plurality is central to modernist
forms of defamiliarisation, and examines the ways in which
multilingual fiction of the period can be seen to reflect and
challenge notions of national and linguistic 'rootedness'. This
book demonstrates that much modernist fiction challenges
contemporary anxieties regarding the 'artificiality' of
'cosmopolitan' forms of multilingualism, manifesting instead a
fascination with processes of interlingual interference and mixing,
and with subversive translational processes that fundamentally
undermine traditional distinctions between original and
translation, native and foreigner, mother tongue and foreign
language.
