Blasted Literature : Victorian Political Fiction and the Shock of Modernism Hardback
by Deaglan O Donghaile
Part of the Edinburgh Critical Studies in Victorian Culture series
Hardback
Description
By connecting Fenian and anarchist violence found in popular fiction from the 1880s to the early 1900s with the avant-garde writing of British modernism, Deaglan O Donghaile demonstrates that Victorian popular fiction and modernism were directly influenced by the explosive shocks of late nineteenth-century terrorism.
For the first time, late-Victorian 'dynamite novels', radical journalism and modernist writing are brought together in provocative readings of Henry James, R L Stevenson, Joseph Conrad and Wyndham Lewis.
Key Features *Extensive original archival research from libraries in the UK, Ireland and the US *The first book to examine types of political and literary disruption *Reads Henry James, R L Stevenson and Joseph Conrad in new contexts *Detailed discussion of Wyndham Lewis's avant-garde Vorticist journal BLAST in chapter 4
