Description

Explore the complex history of European literary modernism through this scholarly study from Cambridge University Press. This book examines a specific strain of modernism that grew from a radical re-engagement with language scepticism in the late nineteenth century. It provides a deep look into how writers navigated the limits of speech and meaning. The text traces various forms of linguistic negativism used by major European authors during the interwar and post-war years. By examining the works of writers like Franz Kafka, Georges Bataille, Samuel Beckett, Maurice Blanchot, Paul Celan, and W. G. Sebald, the book investigates the attempt to capture the unspeakable. It is an essential resource for readers interested in the intersection of philosophy and literature, particularly those studying how language fails or succeeds in expressing profound human experiences.
