- Summary:
- "Outside Modernism" presents original essays that reevaluate a range of English novels written between 1900 and 1930 assigned by critics to a space outside modernism. Drawing on critical perspectives as various as postmodernism, feminism, Marxism, queer theory, and cultural theory, the essays argue for a new and inclusive context for understanding the development of English fiction in this period.
