By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Edinburgh : Edinburgh University Press, 1999.Description: 248 pISBN:
  • 0748609857
Subject(s): Review: "The English literature of the 1920s is commonly treated in terms of its position within European or Anglo-American Modernism. This book argues that the English literature of the period can be better understood when it is examined in the context of a more local social and literary history. Focusing principally on the novel, this book treats works that are regarded as modernist alongside non-modernist and popular forms. It demonstrates the engagement of these texts with a common context of social concerns, including sexuality, gender and class politics, Englishness, empire, and the cultural pessimism which informed the formation of English as a modern university subject."--BOOK JACKET.
