Reading the modern British and Irish novel, 1890-1930

Description:

"After an introduction outlining his method and a substantial first chapter establishing the intellectual, cultural, and literary contexts in which the modern British and Irish novel was produced, Schwarz turns to close reading of modernist masterworks. He shows how Hardy's Jude the Obscure, Conrad's Heart of Darkness and Lord Jim, Lawrence's Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow, Joyce's Dubliners and Ulysses, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse, and Forster's A Passage to India form essential components in a modernist cultural tradition which includes the visual arts." "Schwarz's work takes account of recent developments in theory and cultural studies. His study will not only be invaluable to students and teachers, but will also be of interest to the general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
