Morris, Paul D.: Representation and the Twentieth-Century Novel

Studies in Gorky, Joyce and Pynchon. The discussion of canonic novels from three literary traditions - "Mother", "Ulysses" and "Gravity's Rainbow" - reveals the ways in which they both shaped and reflected the socio-aesthetic eras they inhabited. The manipulations of the novel form undertaken by Gorky, Joyce and Pynchon demonstrate not only the transformative capability of a famously protean genre; they also provide tangible evidence of the novel’s dedication to literature’s perennially mimetic function. 187 Seiten, broschiert (Saarbrücker Beiträge zur vergleichenden Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft; Band 32/Königshausen & Neumann 2005) leichte Lagerspuren/near mint
