This companion with a difference sets a controversial new agenda for literary-historical analysis. It cuts across familiar categories, focusing instead on literary events and texts which consitute 'landmarks' across the century.
An imaginatively constructed new literary history of the twentieth century.This companion with a difference sets a controversial new agenda for literary -historical analysis. Far from the usual forced march through the decades, genres and national literatures, this reference work for the new century cuts across familiar categories, focusing instead on literary hot spots: Freuds Vienna and Conrads Congo in 1899, Chicago and London in 1912, the Somme in July 1916, Dublin, London and Harlem in 1922, and so on, down to Bradford and Berlin in 1989 (the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, the new digital media), Stockholm in 1993 (Toni Morrisons Nobel Prize) and September 11, 2001.
