Synopsis

O'malley Explores How Several British Modernists Applied The Experimental Methods Of Literary Modernism To The Writing Of Narrative History And Historical Novels. The Historical Novel Is Usually Assumed To Be Only A Concern Of Either Nineteenth-century Realism Or Postmodernism, But The Historical Texts Of Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, And Rebecca West Evidence A Modernist Obsession With Historical Narrative. Seamus O'malley. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
