Hulme, the Men of 1914, the Bloomsbury Group, T.S. Eliot, and John Middleton Murry, Gillies convincingly demonstrates that Bergson's theories underlie the literary aesthetics of the period that forms the intellectual basis of modern literature. She then turns her critical eye to five major modernist writers - T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Dorothy Richardson, and Joseph Conrad - and provides insightful and detailed Bergsonian readings of their major works. Drawing on material not previously available, Gillies persuasively argues that Bergson was a major intellectual force in British literature during the first thirty years of the twentieth century.English literature20th centuryHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)Great BritainEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Modernism (Literature)820.9/112Gillies Mary Ann1959-1480720MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782708103321Henri Bergson and British modernism3697448UNINA
