Description

Modernism, Self-Creation, and the Maternal offers a fresh interpretation of modernist literature by examining how authors including Rousseau, Baudelaire, Poe, Rimbaud, Rilke, Joyce, and Beckett conceptualised and employed the maternal figure in their work. This scholarly study reveals how modernist writing emerges from anxieties rooted not in paternal influence but in the violence inflicted upon the mother through acts of literary self-creation. By analysing these authors alongside Derrida's theoretical frameworks on gender, the book illuminates the psychological and textual dynamics that shaped modernist aesthetics. It presents a compelling argument that maternal relations fundamentally structure the creative impulses of canonical modernist figures, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how personal and literary identity intersect within the modernist project.

Key Features

Provides a new critical interpretation of how the mother figure shaped modernist literature and aesthetic philosophy.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in literary criticism and cultural theory.
