Of course, he is considered to be a modernist writer (some call him even a postmodernist), but what the broader concept of modernity intellectually, historically, socially, and culturally means for him and how this is expressed in his texts has not been thoroughly examined. Steinby's book fills this vacuum by analyzing Kundera's novels from the viewpoint of his understanding of the existential problems in the culture of modernity. In addition, his relation to those modernist novelists from the first half of the twentieth century who are most important for him is scrutinized in detail. Steinby's Kundera and Modernity is intended for students of modernism in literary and (comparative) cultural studies, as well as those interested in European and Central European studies"-- Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (p. 227- 246) and index. 600 10 $a Kundera, Milan $x Criticism and interpretation. 651 0 $a Europe $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z Europe. 650 0 $a Existentialism in literature. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / Eastern (see also Russian & Former Soviet Union). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / Books & Reading. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Comparative cultural studies. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180201045712.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826071406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=92D0D5A0B6DB11E2AF0A76A3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
