Illuminating the blind spots of Gothic criticism and expanding the range of cultural material that falls under the banner of this tradition, Daniel Darvay focuses on how late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British writers transform the artifice of Gothic ruins into building blocks for a distinctively modernist architecture of questions, concerns, images, and arguments. To make this argument, Darvay takes readers back to early exemplars of the genre thematically rooted in the English Reformation, tracing it through significant Victorian transformations to finally the modernist period. Through writers such as Oscar Wilde, Joseph Conrad, Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence, this book ultimately expands the boundaries of the Gothic genre and provides a fresh, new approach to better understanding the modernist movement. 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterary History 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 14$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 676 $a823.03 700 $aDarvay$b Daniel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062497 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255227203321 996 $aHaunting Modernity and the Gothic Presence in British Modernist Literature$92526110 997 $aUNINA
