A Shrinking Island: Modernism and National Culture in England
Joshua Esty
A comprehensive account of modernism and imperialism in England. It tracks the joint eclipse of modernist aesthetics and British power from the literary experiments of the 1930s through the rise of cultural studies in the 1950s. It explores the effects of declining empire on modernist form - and on the very meaning of Englishness.
