More about the book
Exploring the modernist narrative voice, this book delves into the interplay between emasculation imagery and literary form from 1919 to 1945. It highlights how innovative rhetoric and influences from psychoanalysis, occultism, and negative philosophy transformed narrative structures and representations of masculinity. By examining early twentieth-century Anglo-American literature's self-awareness of textual production, the study reveals the evolving perceptions of masculine anxiety and optimism, shaped by the significance of textual absence in both writing and reading experiences.
