Adam Meehan finds versions of this postmodern subject embodied in works by authors who intently undermine attempts to stabilize conceptions of identity and who draw attention to the role of language in shaping conceptions of the self. Focusing on the philosophical registers of literary texts, Meehan traces the development of modernist attitudes toward subjectivity, particularly in relation to issues of ideology, spatiality, and violence in a selection of works published between 1904 and 1941. Detailed close readings of novels by Samuel Beckett, Joseph Conrad, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Nathanael West, and Virginia Woolf establish that subjectivity in the modernist novel is conceptualized as an ideological and linguistic construction which reverberates across understandings of consciousness, race, place, and identity. By reconsidering the movement's function and scope, Modernism and Subjectivity charts how profoundly modernist literature shaped the intellectual climate of the twentieth century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The interpellated subject -- The void of subjectivity -- The subject in process -- Spatialized subjectivity -- The negation of subjectivity. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Subjectivity in literature. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z English-speaking countries. 650 0 $a Postmodernism (Literature) $z English-speaking countries. 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Modernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024455 650 7 $a Postmodernism (Literature) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01073181 650 7 $a Subjectivity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136579 651 7 $a English-speaking countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01261775 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Meehan, Adam, $t Modernism and subjectivity $d Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press, 2020 $z 9780807173589 $w (DLC) 2019040539 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030623.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6514D86ADCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
