- Summary:
- The novel is modernism's most vital and experimental genre. In this Companion, leading critics explore the very significant pleasures of reading modernist novels, but also demonstrate how and why reading modernist fiction can be difficult. No one technique or style defines a novel as modernist. Instead, these essays explain the formal innovations, stylistic preferences and thematic concerns which unite modernist fiction. With a chronology and guide to further reading, this is the most accessible and informative overview of the genre available.
