Beschreibung

This book focuses on the modernist epic, analyzing the intricate manifestations of nostalgia in these texts in order to provide a new perspective on the emotion's political ramifications. It argues that the modernist epic, with its fragmentary forms and vast allusive range, exhibits a mode of nostalgia that disrupts linear cultural tradition in favor of layering and juxtaposing past and present. Focusing on techniques like juxtaposition and parallelism not only provides insight into modernist poetics; it also permits a more complex assessment of nostalgia's cultural implications. The methodological lens of literary form illuminates how these texts seek neither to abandon nor to reconstruct the past, rather striving to preserve and reimagine it. This innovative poetics of nostalgia addresses not only literary scholarship, but also history, politics, classics, and media and cultural studies.Archlgcl Hokkdo Japan Indgns Hokkdo.
