Though critics have accused the modern novel of shunning the external world, Lewis suggests that, far from abandoning nineteenth-century realists' concern with politics, the modernists used this emphasis on individual consciousness to address the distinctively political ways in which the modern nation-state shapes the psyche of its subjects. Tracing this theme through Joyce, Proust and Conrad, amongst others, Lewis claims that modern novelists gave life to a whole generation of narrators who forged new social realities in their own images. Their literary techniques - multiple narrators, transcriptions of consciousness, involuntary memory, and arcane symbolism - focused attention on the shaping of the individual by the nation and on the potential of the individual, in time of crisis, to redeem the nation. 517 3 $aModernism, Nationalism, & the Novel 606 $aFiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNationalism and literature$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNationalism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a809.3/9358 700 $aLewis$b Pericles$01041995 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456212803321 996 $aModernism, nationalism, and the novel$92465893 997 $aUNINA
