If it is no coincidence that the rise of the novel accompanied the expansion of empire in the eighteenth-century, then the historical conditions of fiction as the empire waned are equally pertinent. Peter Childs argues that modernist literary writing should be read in terms of its response and relationship to events overseas and that it should be seen as moving towards an emergent post-colonialism instead of struggling with a residual colonial past. Beginning by offering an analysis of the generational and gender conflict that spans art and empire in the period, Childs moves on to examine modernism's expression of a crisis of belief in relation to subjectivity, space, and time. Finally, he investigates the war as a turning point in both colonial relations and aesthetic experimentation. Each of the core chapters focuses on one key writer and discuss a range of others, including: Conrad, Lawrence, Kipling, Eliot, Woolf, Joyce, Conan Doyle and Haggard."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aColonies in literature 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aLiterature and history$zCommonwealth countries 606 $aModernism (Literature) 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $2Literary studies: from c 1900 - 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aColonies in literature. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 676 $a823.91209112 700 $aChilds$b Peter$f1962-$0165610 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461845503321 996 $aModernism and the post-colonial$91985763 997 $aUNINA
