- Inhalt
- This is a historical survey of representative modern British novels.
Interest will be focused on the period from the eighteen-nineties until the nineteen-twenties. Thus, after a brief retrospective glance at their forebears, we shall read some of the main representatives of modernist novel, explore their distinctive personal styles, and deal with aspects of the modern world like the experience of "separateness" - emotional, social, and religious - and of cultural barriers, the experience of feelings of emptiness, alienation, loss, and fragmentation as opposed to the strife for aesthetic forms that either articulate and explain theseexperiences or help to restore coherence, communication, harmony, identification, and connection in art.
Whereas the realist and naturalist literature of the Victorian period
had more or less agreed on certain traditional genres and styles,
modernist art experimented with these conventions.
A closer look at some film adaptions of those classics will make it
possible to discuss their relevance for a contemporary audience.
