In conclusion.Neil Cornwell's study, while endeavouring to present an historical survey of absurdist literature and its forbears, does not aspire to being an exhaustive history of absurdism. Rather, it pauses on certain historical moments, artistic movements, literary figures and selected works, before moving on to discuss four key writers: Daniil Kharms, Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett and Flann O'Brien.The absurd in literature will be of compelling interest to a considerable range of students of comparative, European (including Russian and Central European) and English literatures (British Isles and American)Absurd (Philosophy) in literatureElectronic books.Absurd (Philosophy) in literature.809.93Cornwell Neil169202MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465626803321The absurd in literature2010286UNINA
