Building on the anthropological insights of René Girard, and on the premise that literature is a reflection of a cultural moment, Curyłło-Klag shows how early modernism registers symptoms of crisis which even the outbreak of World War I failed to resolve. Arranged in chronological order, the works of Conrad, Lewis and Lawrence reveal an unfolding pattern and form a triptych, indicative of the growing intensity of the epoch in which they were produced.English fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismViolence in literatureModernism (Literature)Great BritainEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.Violence in literature.Modernism (Literature)823/.914093552Curyłło-Klag I(Izabela),1508944Uniwersytet Jagielloński.Wydział Filologiczny.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910790168303321Violence in early modernist fiction3740466UNINA
