Barrie (1860-1937) is today known almost exclusively for one work: Peter Pan. Yet he was the most successful British playwright of the early twentieth century, and his novels were once thought equal to those of George Meredith and Thomas Hardy. Although in recent years there has been a revival of interest in Barrie's writing, many critics still fail to include him in surveys of fin de si cle literature or drama. Perhaps Barrie's remarkable variety of output has prevented him from being taken to the centre of critical discussions in any one area of literary criticism or history. Is Barrie predominantly a novelist or a playwright? Is he Victorian, Decadent, Edwardian or Modernist? Gateway to the Modern is the very first collection of essays on Barrie which attempts to do justice to the extraordinary range of his literary achievement. What emerges is a significant writer, fully immersed in the literary and intellectual culture of his day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valentina Bold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908980028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908980021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scottish Literature International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.46d","brand":"Valentina Bold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074096525567,"sku":"9781908980021","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e0834e5-5887-4671-b7ea-8790bc3c51f9.jpg?v=1685451758","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gateway-to-the-modern-valentina-bold-9781908980021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
