Description

Explore the evolution of English literature through this scholarly study by Routledge. This book examines the relationship between desire and time, tracing its impact on fiction from 1919 to 2017. The analysis begins with the sexually dissident South Seas novels of Somerset Maugham and the cinematic perspectives of Alfred Hitchcock. Readers will find deep investigations into how the past influences the future-oriented works of the 1930s and the Second World War era. The text covers significant writers such as Virginia Woolf, George Orwell, Sylvia Townsend Warner, and Patrick Hamilton. Moving into more contemporary settings, the final chapters provide detailed discussions of works by diverse authors including Sarah Waters, Amitav Ghosh, and others within lesbian, postcolonial, and gay literary traditions. This volume serves as an essential resource for those studying literary theory and the historical shifts in modern English fiction. It offers a clear look at how various authors navigate identity and historical context through their writing.
