Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jean-Michel Rabaté, professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) since 1992, is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and one of the editors of the Journal of Modern Literature. Co-founder and senior curator of the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, he has authored or edited more than thirty-five volumes on modernism, psychoanalysis, contemporary art, and philosophy. Recent books include Crimes of the Future (2014), The Cambridge Introduction to Literature and Psychoanalysis (2014), and the edited volume 1922: Literature, Culture and Politics (2015).

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The fourth volume in a new and innovative series exploring literature through the variegated lenses of critical theory, this bold new collection of essays examines canonical modernist texts by making sense of the conceptual, philosophical, and theoretical issues that underpin them. Edited by a renowned commentator on modernist theory and literature, the book features contributions from leading academics who have engaged in detailed analysis both of individual texts, and their links with theory and theoreticians.

The handbook explores the deep affinity of leading theorists for specific modernist texts, unravelling the intellectual links between Adorno and Beckett, Derrida and Joyce, Foucault and Borges, and ?i?ek and Kafka, among others. It also attests to the penchant of modernist authors such as Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot and Fernando Pessoa for particular aspects of philosophical and theoretical discourse. This compelling examination of the philosophical confluence between modernism and literature will attract students and scholars not just of literature, but in many other disciplines.
