This textbook ranges from the early twentieth-century to the full
array of modernisms emerging between the First and Second World
Wars. The editors introduce twentieth-century debates around genre,
form and content reflected in both literary and critical writing of
the period, as well as differing accounts of the function of
literature (aestheticist vs. didactic). They go on to examine
debates around modernisms, and the various ways in which authors
negotiated the departure of the modern from the past in terms of
style, form, ideas and ideology.
This wide-ranging volume is not only ideal as the first part of a
course on twentieth-century literature, but also as a companion to
courses on modernist literature and culture.
Texts examined in detail include:
Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, Mansfield's Short Stories, poetry of
the 1930s, Gibbon's Sunset Song, Eliot's Prufrock, Brecht's
Galileo, Woolf's Orlando, Okigbo's Selected Poems.
