as Darwin, Marx, Freud, Nietzsche, Saussure and Einstein explores
the radical changes which occurred in the arts, literature, drama,
and film of the period traces 'modernism at work' in literature,
especially in writings by a range of British, Irish, American and
other Anglophone authors including James Joyce, Virginia Woolf,

the culture and worldwide impact of modernism reflects upon the
shift from modernism to postmodernism. At once accessible and
