Sciences of Modernism: Ethnography, Sexology, and Psychology

Autor Paul Peppis
en Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2017
Sciences of Modernism examines key points of contact between British literature and the human sciences of ethnography, sexology and psychology at the dawn of the twentieth century. The book is divided into sections that pair exemplary scientific texts from the period with literary ones, charting numerous collaborations and competitions occurring between science and early modernist literature. Paul Peppis investigates this exchange through close readings of literary works by Claude McKay, E. M. Forster, Mina Loy, Rebecca West and Wilfred Owen, alongside science books by Alfred Haddon, Havelock Ellis, Marie Stopes, Bernard Hart and William Brown. In so doing, Peppis shows how these competing disciplines participated in the formation and consolidation of modernism as a broad cultural movement across a range of critical discourses. His study will interest students and scholars of the history of science, literary modernism, and English literature more broadly.

Recenzii

'Peppis brings … close reading skills to ten early modernist texts … to show that literature and science, rather than being antithetical 'discourses' were subtly collaborative in the engineering of high modernism's 'black boxes'.' The Times Literary Supplement
'Scholars of English literary modernism will find Sciences of Modernism a significant contribution to the field. Meticulously researched, Paul Peppis's most recent book positions a diverse series of early twentieth-century books in historical context as well as in critical tradition.' T. Hugh Crawford, Modern Philology
