Cusack have brought together essays on literary Modernism that uncover medieval themes and tropes that have previously been “unattended”, that is, neglected or ignored. A historical span of a century is covered, from musical modernist Richard Wagner’s final opera Parsifal (1882) to Russell Hoban’s speculative fiction Riddley Walker (1980), and themes of Arthurian literature, scholastic philosophy, Irish legends, classical philology, dream theory, Orthodox theology and textual exegesis are brought into conversation with key Modernist writers, including T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Samuel Beckett, Marcel Proust, W. B. Yeats, Evelyn Waugh and Eugene Ionesco. These scholarly investigations are original, illuminating, and often delightful.Studies in religion and the arts ;Volume 11.Modernism (Literature)Literature, ModernMedieval influencesLiterature, ModernHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)Literature, ModernMedieval influences.Literature, ModernHistory and criticism.809/.9112Marshall Simone CelineCusack Carole M.1962-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796547503321The medieval presence in the modernist aesthetic3868432UNINA
