| Abstract | "Many previous studies of modernity read colonial or postcolonial texts through the lens of critical theories originating in Europe or North America, but author Mara de Gennaro undertakes a comparative literary approach in which she juxtaposes a canonical anglophone modernist writer with an anglophone or francophone postcolonial writer. She models a new critical approach for relating modernism to postcolonialism"-- Provided by publisher. |
