Summary

This book explores key texts- Howard's End, The Rainbow , and the poetry of Owen, Sassoon, and Edward Thomas--to show the mingled continuation and rejection of convention as their characteristic achievement, exploring features often seen as failures. It also discusses the writing's increasing concerns with the inadequacies of language, seeing it within the frame of contemporary society and deconstructive theory, and attempting to locate them in relation to high Modernism.

Author Biography

Stuart Sillars is a member of the Faculty of English at the University of Cambridge.
