Title: E.M. Forster's modernism
First published: 2002
Description: "E. M. Forster's Modernism is the first detailed and comprehensive investigation into Forster's relationship to Modernism. Forster has not traditionally been included amongst the major Modernist writers, and has often been regarded as a straddler of traditions. This fresh and original study situates Forster's fiction firmly within a range of early twentieth-century contexts: socio-political, generic and aesthetic. Medalie advances the argument that Forster's fiction embodies an important strand within Modernism and in doing so makes the case for a new definition and interpretation of "Modernism." Forster's fiction is also considered in relation to larger issues in early twentieth-century British fiction, and as such this study makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the writings of this period."--Jacket.
