Description

This scholarly study examines a distinctive movement within European literary modernism rooted in late nineteenth-century language scepticism. The book traces linguistic negativism across the interwar and post-war periods, analysing how writers including Franz Kafka, Georges Bataille, Samuel Beckett, Maurice Blanchot, Paul Celan, and W. G. Sebald engaged with the impossibility of language itself. Through detailed textual analysis, the work explores these authors' efforts to represent the 'unspeakable' and challenges conventional approaches to modernist literature by positioning language doubt as central to the period's aesthetic innovation. Essential reading for literary scholars and students of twentieth-century European modernism and Holocaust literature.
