E. B. Du Bois, and from Virginia Woolf to Jean Rhys, this book discusses how fictional travelers negotiate and adapt various tropes of travel (such as quest, expatriation, displacement, and exile) as models for their own journeys. Specifically, Peat considers the ethical dimensions of modernist travel from two distinct vantages. The first focuses on the relationship between the secular and the sacred in modernist travel literature, arguing that the recurrent narrative of secular travel is haunted by a desire for spiritual transcendence.Routledge studies in twentieth-century literature ;v. 15.American literature20th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)Pilgrims and pilgrimages in literatureTravel in literatureAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.English literatureHistory and criticism.Modernism (Literature)Pilgrims and pilgrimages in literature.Travel in literature.820.9/32Peat Alexandra1976-,960931MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785440703321Travel and modernist literature3767020UNINA
