"Utopianism, Modernism, and Literature in the Twentieth Century"
considers the links between utopianism and modernism in two ways:
as an under-theorized nexus of aesthetic and political
interactions; and as a sphere of confluences that challenges
accepted critical models of modernist and twentieth-century
literary history. An international group of scholars considers
works by E. M. Forster, Ford Madox Ford, Wyndham Lewis, Naomi
Mitchison, Katharine Burdekin, Rex Warner, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Thomas
Pynchon, Elizabeth Bowen, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Ernst
Bloch. In doing so, this volume's contributors prompt new
reflections on key aspects of utopianism in experimental
twentieth-century literature and non-fictional writing; deepen
literary-historical understandings of modernism's socio-political
implications; and bear out the on-going relevance of modernism's
explorations of utopian thought. "Utopianism, Modernism, and
Literature in the Twentieth Century" will appeal to anyone with an
interest in how deeply and how differently modernist writers, as
well as writers influenced by or resistant to modernist styles,
engaged with issues of utopianism, perfectibility, and social
betterment.
