This exciting new volume provides a freshly inclusive account of literature in England in the period before, during, and after the First World War. Chris Baldick places the modernist achievements of Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, and James Joyce within the rich context of non-modernist writings across all major genres, allowing 'high' literary art to be read against the background of 'low' entertainment. Looking well beyond the modernist vanguard, Baldick highlights the survival and renewal of realist traditions in these decades of post-Victorian disillusionment. Ranging widely across psychological novels, war poems, detective stories, satires, and children's books, The Modern Movement provides a unique survey of the literature of this turbulent time.

Presenting a survey of literature in England during the first half of the twentieth century, this work places modernist with non-modernist writings. It covers psychological novels, war poems, detective stories, satires, children's books, and other literary forms evolving in response to the new anxieties and exhilarations of twentieth-century life.

PART I: ELEMENTS; PART II: FORMS; PART III: OCCASIONS
Review from previous edition Baldick argues persuasively that modernism, as exemplified by such authors as Eliot, Woolf, and Joyce, did not suddenly dominate British literature in the period 1910-40; realistic novels and traditional poetic and dramatic forms continued to flourish. The individual author bibliographies are a tremendous asset. Recommended for all academic libraries, especially at the undergraduate level.
