First published in 1972, this books examines the subject of
primitivism through the study of the work of a number of major
writers, including D. H. Lawrence, Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad,
T. S. Eliot and James Joyce. It looks at the variety of definitions
and uses of primitivism and how the idea has changed over time as
well as with each writer. In doing so, it is argued that
primitivism denotes, or arises from, a sense of crisis in
civilization and it is born of the interplay between the civilized
self and the desire to reject or transform it. This book will be of
interest to those studying modern literature.
