Building on the anthropological insights of Rene? Girard, and on the premise that literature is a reflection of a cultural moment, Cury??o-Klag shows how early modernism registers symptoms of crisis which even the outbreak of World War I failed to resolve. Arranged in chronological order, the works of Conrad, Lewis and Lawrence reveal an unfolding pattern and form a triptych, indicative of the growing intensity of the epoch in which they were produced. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aViolence in literature 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zGreat Britain 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aViolence in literature. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a823/.914093552 700 $aCury??o-Klag$b I$g(Izabela),$01508944 712 02$aUniwersytet Jagiellon?ski.$bWydzia?
