Více o knize

Focusing on Philip Larkin's critique of modern art, this essay delves into the qualities of irresponsibility and technical experimentation that characterize the 20th century. It examines how post-war writing and aesthetics respond to modernism's themes of mystification and outrage, aiming to uncover Larkin's message to post-modern society. By analyzing the interplay between modern and post-modern literary forms, the essay seeks to establish a broader definition of aesthetics that reflects the complexities of both movements and their societal implications.
