Description

This literary study traces the evolution of desire and temporal consciousness across modern English fiction from 1919 to 2017, examining how writers engaged with sexuality, history, and narrative innovation. Beginning with Somerset Maugham's sexually dissident South Seas fiction and Alfred Hitchcock's queer-inflected film adaptation of Jack the Ripper, the analysis progresses through works by Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner, George Orwell, and Patrick Hamilton during the 1930s and Second World War. The final chapters extend the discussion to contemporary literature, exploring postcolonial and LGBTQ+ perspectives through authors including Sarah Waters, Amitav Ghosh, and Alan Hollinghurst. This comprehensive examination reveals how future-oriented modernist and contemporary works continue to reckon with historical and emotional legacies, offering critical insights into the relationship between desire, time, and narrative form in English fiction.
