Reconfiguring Nietzsche's seminal impact on modernist literature
and culture, this book presents a distinctive new reading of
modernism by exploring his sustained philosophical engagement with
nihilism and its inextricable tie to pain and sickness. Arguing
that modernist texts dramatize the frailty of the ill, the
impotent, and the traumatised modern subject unable to render
suffering significant through traditional religious means, it uses
the Nietzschean diagnoses of nihilism and what he calls
'ressentiment', the entwined feelings of powerlessness and
vindictiveness, as heuristic tools to remap the fictional
landscapes of Lawrence, Kafka, and Beckett. Lucid, authoritative
and accessible, this book will appeal internationally to literature
and philosophy scholars and undergraduates as well as to readers in
medical and sociological fields.
