Zusammenfassung: | Michael Levenson, author of the acclaimed A Genealogy of Modernism, devotes this second book to the complex question of the self, the individual subject, as it undergoes various transitions throughout the period we designate 'modernist'. The book is an elaborate and compelling engagement with the problem of individuality in our age, structured around a sophisticated reading of eight major novels by Conrad, James, Forster, Madox Ford, Lewis, Lawrence, Joyce and Woolf. Professor Levenson takes account of the large body of modern theoretical writing on this topic, and his study will be of interest to theorists, cultural historians, and literary scholars in equal measure. It addresses issues (the crisis of liberalism, challenge to Eurocentrism, advance of bureaucracy, contest between men and women) still of crucial concern in our culture, showing that the problem, when it comes to locating the self within the entanglements of a community, is one of defining a formal concept while at the same time preserving a moral value |

The book is an elaborate and compelling engagement with the problem of individuality in our age, structured around a sophisticated reading of eight major novels by Conrad, James, Forster, Madox Ford, Lewis, Lawrence, Joyce and Woolf. Professor Levenson takes account of the large body of modern theoretical writing on this topic, and his study will be of interest to theorists, cultural historians, and literary scholars in equal measure. It addresses issues (the crisis of liberalism, challenge to Eurocentrism, advance of bureaucracy, contest between men and women) still of crucial concern in our culture, showing that the problem, when it comes to locating the self within the entanglements of a community, is one of defining a formal concept while at the same time preserving a moral value Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1900-1930 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1880-1940 gnd rswk-swf English fiction / 20th century / History and criticism Characters and characteristics in literature Individuality in literature Self in literature Modernism (Literature) / Great Britain Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Charakter (DE-588)4009760-2 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Individualität Motiv (DE-588)4743085-0 gnd rswk-swf Individualität (DE-588)4140265-0 gnd rswk-swf Individuum Motiv (DE-588)4473304-5 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Charakter (DE-588)4009760-2 s Geschichte 1880-1940 z 1\p DE-604 Individualität Motiv (DE-588)4743085-0 s Geschichte 1900-1930 z 2\p DE-604 Individuum Motiv (DE-588)4473304-5 s 3\p DE-604 Individualität (DE-588)4140265-0 s 4\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-39491-8 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-60944-9 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511553714 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
