Although these modernist writers develop radically different models for social organization, their writings return again and again to issues of commonality, shared voice, and exchange of experience, particularly in relation to dominant discourses of gender and nationality. The writings of James, Proust, Woolf and Stein, she argues, not only inscribe early twentieth-century anxieties about race, ethnicity, nationality and gender, but confront them with demands for modern, cosmopolitan versions of community. This study seeks to revise theories of community and cosmopolitanism in light of their construction in narrative, and in particular it seeks to reveal the ways that modernist fiction can provide meaningful alternative models of community. 517 3 $aModernist Fiction, Cosmopolitanism & the Politics of Community 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zUnited States 606 $aPolitics and literature$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLiterature and society$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunity life in literature 606 $aCosmopolitanism 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aCommunity life in literature. 615 0$aCosmopolitanism. 676 $a813/.5209112 700 $aBerman$b Jessica Schiff$f1961-$01031205 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450529303321 996 $aModernist fiction, cosmopolitanism and the politics of community$92448464 997 $aUNINA
