- Summary:
- Modernist epic is more interesting and more diverse than we have supposed. As a radical form of national fiction it appeared in many parts of the world in the early twentieth century. Reading a selection of works from the United States, England, Ireland, Czechoslovakia, and Brazil, 'The Evolutions of Modernist Epic' develops a comparative theory of this genre and its global development. That development was, it argues, bound up with new ideas about biological evolution.
