While most critical studies of interwar literary politics have
focused on nationalism, Patrick Query makes a case that the idea of
Europe intervenes in instances when the individual and the nation
negotiate identity. He examines the ways interwar writers use three
European ritual forms-verse drama, bullfighting, and Roman Catholic
rite-to articulate ideas of European cultural identity. Within the
growing discourse of globalization, Query argues, Europe presents a
special, though often overlooked, case because it adds a mediating
term between local and global. His book is divided into three
sections: the first treats the verse dramas of T.S. Eliot, W.B.
Yeats, and W.H. Auden; the second discusses the uses of the Spanish
bullfight in works by D.H. Lawrence, Stephen Spender, Jack Lindsay,
George Barker, Cecil Day Lewis, and others; and the third explores
the cross-cultural impact of Catholic ritual in Graham Greene,
Evelyn Waugh, and David Jones. While all three ritual forms were
frequently associated with the most conservative tendencies of the
age, Query shows that each had a remarkable political flexibility
in the hands of interwar writers concerned with the idea of Europe.
