Autonomy and Commitment in Twentieth-Century British Literature

Description
This collection of essays means to explore the interaction between autonomy and
commitment in an attempt at revisiting and possibly, revising conventional literary
history. Until recently, literary history has indeed tended to present twentieth-century
British literature as either autonomous or committed, but such a position
certainly needs qualification.
By addressing the joint issues of autonomy and commitment and basing their
arguments on such theoretical writings as those of Adorno, Benjamin, Jameson,
Rancière or Attridge, the essays presented here come to question the canonical
definitions of modernism as experimental literature, the literature of the 1940s and
1950s as committed and post-modern fiction as self-reflexive and autonomous.
Through reflections on experimentation and ideology, narcissism and metafiction,
aestheticism and militancy, abstraction and ethical involvement, they flesh out
the very definitions of autonomy and commitment, confront the two notions and
relentlessly test their interaction, thus bringing out the complexities and subtleties
of the various moments and movements that make up the literary landscape of the
20th century and the beginning of the 21st.
Writers such as Vernon Lee, Mina Loy, Stevie Smith, Rosamond Lehmann,
Malcolm Lowry and Graham Greene are examined side by side with Ezra Pound,
James Joyce, Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence or Virginia Woolf, Brigid Brophy, Anthony
Burgess, Philip Pullman, Emma Tennant, Hilary Mantel, James
Kelman, Russell Hoban and Zadie Smith are studied together
with John Fowles, Martin Amis, Will Self and David Mitchell
so that the whole volume reads as a tentative re-mapping
of British modernism as well as an original mapping out of
contemporary British literature.
