These Modernists, Williams argues, started their careers with historical assumptions derived from the nineteenth century. But their views on the universal structure of history, on the abandonment of progress and the adoption of a cyclical sense of the past, were the result of important conflicts and changes within the Modernist period. Williams focuses on the period immediately before World War I, and shows in detail how Modernism developed and why it is considered a unique intellectual movement. She also revisits the theory that the Edwardian age was a difficult period of transition to the modern world. Finally, she illuminates the contribution of non-Western culture to the literature and thought of the period. This wide-ranging and inter-disciplinary study is essential reading for literary and cultural historians of the modernist period. 517 3 $aModernism & the Ideology of History 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHistory in literature 606 $aLiterature and history$zEnglish-speaking countries$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmerican poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zEnglish-speaking countries 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHistory in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a820.9/112 700 $aWilliams$b Louise Blakeney$01549241 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783121803321 996 $aModernism and the ideology of history$93807085 997 $aUNINA
