The book offers, in full scope, an engaging synthesis of the most stimulating ideas and tendencies in the novels and plays of a wide circle of writers from France (Proust, Gide, Camus, CeÌline, Tzara, Aragon, Simone Weil), England and Ireland (Virginia Woolf, Orwell, Joyce, Beckett), the USA (Scott Fitzgerald, Arthur Miller, O?Neill, Hemingway), Austria-Hungary (Musil, Broch, Kafka, Zweig, Roth), and Germany (Hesse, JuÌnger, BoÌll, Thomas Mann). Caught between world wars, they nevertheless succeeded in creating some of the best literature ever. They created a philosophy as well, rejecting bourgeois ?mechanical? society, designing escape routes from the nihilism of the times. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z Europe. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z United States. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a European literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a European literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916751 650 7 $a Literature, Modern. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000172 650 7 $a Modernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024455 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hermans, Cornelis Andreas Marie author. $t Interbellum literature $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2017 $z 9789004341807 $w (DLC) 2017030825 830 0 $a Literary modernism (Leiden) ; $v v. 4. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180710052253.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F940E8CEF5D411E7B33F7C0497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
