Author Description

"This book considers the major authors and texts of the modernist period, mapping the literary alongside the historical and social issues of the time. It provides a lucid overview and informed readings of works by Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, D.H. Lawrence, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, Joseph Conrad, E.M. Forster and many others." "Modernism also includes a time-line of key events and a bibliography to aid further study."--Jacket.
