Rider Haggard and Arthur Conan Doyle. Rather than treating these stories as Victorian Gothic, Daly locates them as part of a 'popular modernism'. Drawing on work in cultural studies, this book argues that the vampires, mummies and treasure hunts of these adventure narratives provided a form of narrative theory of cultural change, at a time when Britain was trying to accommodate the 'new imperialism', the rise of professionalism, and the expansion of consumerist culture. Daly's wide-ranging study argues that the presence of a genre such as romance within modernism should force a questioning of the usual distinction between high and popular culture.Modernism, Romance & the Fin de SiècleEnglish fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismPopular literatureGreat BritainHistory and criticismEnglish fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismLiterature and anthropologyGreat BritainHistoryAdventure stories, EnglishHistory and criticismGothic revival (Literature)Great BritainModernism (Literature)Great BritainCulture in literatureEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Popular literatureHistory and criticism.English fictionHistory and criticism.Literature and anthropologyHistory.Adventure stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.Gothic revival (Literature)Modernism (Literature)Culture in literature.823/.809112Daly Nicholas1518018UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910780075603321Modernism, romance, and the fin de siècle3755348UNINA
