Abstract:
In Literary Modernism and Beyond, Richard Lehan tracks the evolution of modernism from its emergence in the late nineteenth century to its recent incarnations. In this wide-ranging study, Lehan demonstrates how and why the "originary vision" of modernism changed radically after it gained prominence. With critical discussions on a wide variety of major modernist writers, intellectuals, and artists and their works-including Virginia Woolf, Gertrude Stein, T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, André Gide, Franz Kafka, Zora Neale Hurston, Ian Fleming, and J. K. Rowling-Lehan examines the large-scale changes that came as critical authority moved from one generation to another.
