Structure and Dissolution in English Writing, 1910-1920

More about the book

Focusing on key literary works such as Howards End and The Rainbow, this book examines the blend of convention and innovation in early 20th-century literature. It highlights how these texts and the poetry of Owen, Sassoon, and Edward Thomas reflect a growing concern with language's limitations. By situating these works within contemporary society and deconstructive theory, the author seeks to connect them to the broader context of high Modernism, revealing insights often overlooked as failures.
