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, it sets modernist works alongside non-modernist and popular forms, looking at the engagement of these texts with 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.The book includes studies of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf and E. M. Forster as well as Rebecca West, Wyndham Lewis, Aldous Huxley and Sylvia Townsend Warner.

Modernism, Internationalism and the Russian Revolution

Modernism, Internationalism and the Russian Revolution examines responses to the Russian Revolution and the formation of League of Nations in literature and journalism in the years following 1917. We see how visitors to Moscow responded to meeting Lenin, how the Bolsheviks intervened in the British public sphere, and how cultural figures such as Leonard Woolf, H.G. Wells and T.S. Eliot, debated the League and the Revolution. The book reveals the extent and complexity of the debate about revolution and nationalities which was a dominant feature of public discourse. Drawing on responses of journalists and literary authors, it allows insights into the relationship between modernist literature and the major geopolitical shifts which governed the period and demonstrates how a new age of transnational politics began.

History & Criticism

This book traces the concept of self through the work of Wyndham Lewis. It discovers at the heart of Lewis's work a tension between his assumption that the self is really almost no thing at all, and his perception that the survival of European culture--Western Man--depends on the stability and coherence of the self. Lewis's work is dominated by the conviction that industrialized society enslaves by fragmenting and destroying selfhood. In Lewis's mythography, Western Man is opposed to the Jewish "Split-Man," and Hitler represents the last stand of the West against Jewish-inspired liberalism and communism.

Explores the impact of the Russian Revolution and League of Nations on British modernist culture 1917 was the moment in which a new sense of internationalism came into being under the impetus of the Russian Revolution and the formation of the League of Nations. Drawing on the responses of journalists and literary authors, David Ayers examines the work of lesser-known travellers and commentators alongside the work of major authors to show how these world-changing events impacted on British culture. We see how visitors to Moscow responded to meeting Lenin, how the Bolsheviks intervened in the British public sphere, and how cultural figures such as Leonard Woolf, H.G. Wells and T.S. Eliot, debated the League and the Revolution. Using Transnationalism theory and the work of Alain Badiou, Ayers demonstrates how a new age of transnational politics began and gave shape to the present.
