Modernism experimented with literary form and expression, as exemplified by Ezra Pound's maxim to "Make it new." This literary movement was driven by a conscious desire to overturn traditional modes of representation and express the new sensibilities of the time. The immense human costs of the First World War saw the prevailing assumptions about society reassessed, and much modernist writing engages with the technological advances and societal changes of modernity moving into the 20th century. In Modernist Literature, Mary Ann Gillies notes that these literary themes share the "centrality of a conscious break with the past", one that "emerges as a complex response across continents and disciplines to a changing world"'. (Wiki) ***'The authors define Modernism as the presentation of problems of a particular kind and their tentative solutions -- problems of which a group of writers actively publishing between about 1910 and 1940 had become aware as a result of new historical and social developments. Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Proust, Gide, Musil, Thomas Mann, Italo Svevo and other Modernist writers believed that Symbolist metaphysics and Realist determinism provided inadequate answers to the disaster of the First World War, to the emancipation from nineteenth-century morality, and to the striking results in various fields of scientific research from physics to psychology. Now that the debate over Postmodernism is gathering momentum, it is important to get a clear picture of the aims of Modernism, not only in English literature but also on the European continent.' (Quote taken from the flaps of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its original dustwrapper. A comprehensive study of Modernist writers from just before the First World War to the start of the Second world War period. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Artikel-Nr. 8997
