Sommario/riassunto: | 'Granular Modernism' understands the way that some Modernist texts put themselves together as a way of pulling themselves apart. It proposes that rather than trying to find the shapes of narrative or argument in their writing, the 'Granular Modernists' - namely, Joseph Conrad, William Gerhardie, Evelyn Waugh, Henry Green, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, and Samuel Beckett - experiment in certain of their works in finding the shapelessness of a moment in history that increasingly confidently called itself 'modern', which was to call itself shapeless. |
