A radical intervention into critical debates over the status of
sensation within modernist literature Offers novel and insightful
readings of key modernist authors within their philosophical
contexts Critiques a range of 'neuroaesthetic' approaches to
literary criticism Proposes new ways of thinking about the
relationship between philosophy, literature and technology within
modernist studies. Concentrating on the work of four major
modernist authors - Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis and
Samuel Beckett - this book examines the close links between
modernist literature and the philosophy of mind. By historicising
the qualia debate and situating it within its cultural and literary
contexts, it stages interventions into a range of academic debates:
over the status of 'sensations' and 'sense data' within modernist
fiction, over the scope and possibility of 'neuroaesthetic'
approaches to literary criticism, and over the relationship between
literature, philosophy and technology in the modernist moment.
