| Резюме: |
This book explores the fiction, memoirs, criticism, and journalism of writers such as Elizabeth Bowen, Storm Jameson, William Empson, George Orwell, J.B. Priestley, Harold Heslop, T.H. White, Rebecca West, John Grierson, Margery Allingham, and Stella Gibbons. Distinguishing their work from that of modernists or postmodernists, the volume outlines the historical, institutional, and personal relationships that define intermodernism. Three kinds of intermodern features are described: cultural (intermodernists typically represent working-class and middle-class cultures); political (intermodernists are politically radical); and literary (intermodernists are committed to non-canonical, even 'middlebrow' or 'mass' genres). The volume concludes with an appendix, 'Who Were the Intermodernists?', and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. |
