Description

Hope and Aesthetic Utility in Modernist Literature challenges the conventional separation of hope from modernism by demonstrating how canonical modernist writers held profound confidence in art's social power and the future. This Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature volume traces optimism across diverse literary voices including Henry James, D.W. Griffith, H.D., Melvin Tolson, and Samuel Beckett. Rather than focusing solely on modernism's well-documented negative affects, the book shifts attention to positive forms of feeling and explores how modernist writing reveals a deep-seated belief in aesthetic utility. The text bridges literary analysis and cultural history, offering readers fresh perspectives on how twentieth-century authors positioned artistic creation as a force for social change and human progress. Essential for literature scholars, graduate students, and anyone interested in modernism's philosophical underpinnings and the relationship between art and hope.
