In Modernism, Narrative and Humanism, Paul Sheehan attempts to
redefine modernist narrative for the twenty-first century. For
Sheehan modernism presents a major form of critique of the
fundamental presumptions of humanism. By pairing key modernist
writers with philosophical critics of the humanist tradition, he
shows how modernists sought to discover humanism's inhuman
potential. He examines the development of narrative during the
modernist period and sets it against, among others, the
nineteenth-century philosophical writings of Schopenhauer , Darwin
and Nietzsche. Focusing on the major novels and poetics of Conrad,
Lawrence, Woolf and Beckett, Sheehan investigates these writers'
mistrust of humanist orthodoxy and their consequent transformations
and disfigurations of narrative order. He reveals the crucial link
between the modernist novel's narrative concerns and its
philosophical orientation in a book that will be of compelling
interest to scholars of modernism and literary theory.
