Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken. The great diversity of contexts in which the term Postmodernism is currently encountered reflects the remarkable success of a coinage that has been in circulation for only about forty years. It has been used by philosophers, sociologists, art critics and literary historians to become, finally, a household word in the language of advertising and politics. Before letting it fade to a derelict cliche, an attempt is made in this volume of essays to use its potential as a cultural concept for the analysis and understanding of contemporary literature and thought.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Ohne Umschlag; Leichte Risse. The essays in this collection address key theoretical issues surrounding Postmodernism, including its evolving definition, periodization, and historicity. Some pieces provide readings of Postmodernist texts, linking practical criticism to theoretical frameworks. Hans Bertens outlines the historical evolution of Postmodernism in American criticism, clarifying various definitions proposed over the past twenty-five years to enhance understanding and discussion. Brian McHale and Douwe Fokkema present models for analyzing Postmodernist texts, while Richard Todd argues that Postmodernism is more prevalent in contemporary British fiction than previously recognized. Herta Schmid makes a similar case regarding Russian avant-garde theater. Elrud Ibsch contrasts Thomas Bernhard and Robert Musil, and Ulla Musarra explores Italo Calvino's work. Gerhard Hoffman examines the relationship between Existentialism and Postmodernism, while Theo D'haen identifies parallels between Postmodernism in literature and visual arts. Matei Calinescu connects literary Postmodernism to broader cultural shifts, challenging Foucault's idea of an epistemic break and advocating for both continuity and discontinuity. Finally, Helmut Lethen and Susan Suleiman critically assess the concept of Postmodernism, with Suleiman suggesting that the alleged reaction against Modernism may be a critical myth or limited to the American context.

Modernism experimented with literary form and expression, as exemplified by Ezra Pound's maxim to "Make it new." This literary movement was driven by a conscious desire to overturn traditional modes of representation and express the new sensibilities of the time. The immense human costs of the First World War saw the prevailing assumptions about society reassessed, and much modernist writing engages with the technological advances and societal changes of modernity moving into the 20th century. In Modernist Literature, Mary Ann Gillies notes that these literary themes share the "centrality of a conscious break with the past", one that "emerges as a complex response across continents and disciplines to a changing world"'. (Wiki) ***'The authors define Modernism as the presentation of problems of a particular kind and their tentative solutions -- problems of which a group of writers actively publishing between about 1910 and 1940 had become aware as a result of new historical and social developments. Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Proust, Gide, Musil, Thomas Mann, Italo Svevo and other Modernist writers believed that Symbolist metaphysics and Realist determinism provided inadequate answers to the disaster of the First World War, to the emancipation from nineteenth-century morality, and to the striking results in various fields of scientific research from physics to psychology. Now that the debate over Postmodernism is gathering momentum, it is important to get a clear picture of the aims of Modernism, not only in English literature but also on the European continent.' (Quote taken from the flaps of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the first UK edition, complete in its original dustwrapper. A comprehensive study of Modernist writers from just before the First World War to the start of the Second world War period. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
