4.0 out of 5 stars
A must for curious readers of modernist works!,
By Alice Lee (Hong Kong SAR, China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Modernism (Cambridge Companions to Literature) (Paperback)
The Companion is especially for you, if you are the one who wants to know more about modernism, including the background of the period, the novels, the plays, the gender issues, and even the visual arts and the films. Reading the book together with "Modernism 1890-1930," edited by Malcolm Bradbury and James McFarlane, you will find yourself more familiar with modernism and you are most likely to dig deeper and deeper.
