Literature, Modernism and Myth

Více o knize

Exploring the interplay between myth and modernist literature, Michael Bell analyzes how modernists utilized myth to highlight the fragility of values in a fragmented world. He argues that this anti-foundational approach allows myth to serve as a counterbalance to political ideologies. Furthermore, Bell illustrates how contemporary postmodern issues of political and social responsibility are deeply rooted in modernist thought, revealing a continuity in literary exploration across these movements.
