This is a complete introduction to Modernist writers, ideas and
movements that considers the precursors as well as the legacy of
Modernist Literature. Literary Modernism can be described as the
flourishing of avant-garde literature over a forty year period but
it can be difficult to see how the different movements and authors
seen to fall within modernist literature are related. This
historical overview explains what modernist literature was by
taking the reader through the major figures, ideas and movements,
focusing particularly on the core years of 1890-1930 but also
looking before to Modernism's influences and precursors and beyond
to its continuation and legacy. Concentrating on the British isles
but referencing a much wider range of authors and texts and written
in a clear, accessible style, this is an indispensable introduction
to Modernist writers and movements. "Continuum's Guides for the
Perplexed" are clear, concise and accessible introductions to
thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can find
especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering.
Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject
difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and
ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of
demanding material.
