Description

This groundbreaking scholarly work traces how representations of Germany and Germans shaped modernist British literature and English identity between 1890 and 1950. Petra Rau provides the first systematic examination of shifting British attitudes towards Germany, from the suspicious competitiveness of the late Victorian era through the aggressive hostility of the First World War to the contradictory perspectives of the 1930s and 1940s. Rather than viewing these changes as simple political responses, Rau argues they resulted from anxious negotiations of modernity in which English writers projected specific aspects of Englishness onto German culture and identity. This Routledge publication offers scholars and students of modernist literature, British history, and cultural studies crucial insights into how literary representations influenced national identity formation during a transformative period in Anglo-German relations.

Key Features

Examines modernist British literature from 1890 to 1950 and its role in shaping English national identity through representations of Germany.

Traces the evolution of British attitudes towards Germans across three distinct historical periods: late Victorian competitiveness, First World War hostility, and 1930s-1940s inconsistency.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specializing in history, literature, and cultural studies.

Provides the first comprehensive systematic study connecting modernist literary representations of Germanness to English identity development.

Explores how English writers anxiously negotiated modernity by projecting aspects of Englishness onto German cultural identity during crucial historical transitions.
