These Modernists, Williams argues, started their careers with historical assumptions derived from the nineteenth century. But their views on the universal structure of history, on the abandonment of progress and the adoption of a cyclical sense of the past, were the result of important conflicts and changes within the Modernist period. Williams focuses on the period immediately before World War I, and shows in detail how Modernism developed and why it is considered a unique intellectual movement. She also revisits the theory that the Edwardian age was a difficult period of transition to the modern world. Finally, she illuminates the contribution of non-Western culture to the literature and thought of the period. This wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary study is essential reading for literary and cultural historians of the modernist period.Modernism & the Ideology of HistoryEnglish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismHistory in literatureLiterature and historyEnglish-speaking countriesHistory20th centuryAmerican poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)English-speaking countriesEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.History in literature.Literature and historyHistoryAmerican poetryHistory and criticism.Modernism (Literature)820.9/112Williams Louise Blakeney1053937UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910450541703321Modernism and the ideology of history2486155UNINA
