Lawrence","description":"How do we feel for others? Must we try to understand other minds? Do we have to respect others' autonomy, or even their individuality? Or might sympathy be fundamentally more intuitive, bodily and troubling? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking as her focus the work of Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, and Vernon Lee (the first novelist to use the word 'empathy'), Kirsty Martin explores how modernist writers thought about questions of sympathetic response. Attending closely to literary depictions of gesture, movement and rhythm; and to literary explorations of the bodily and of transcendence; this book argues that central to modernism was an ideal of sympathy that was morally complex, but that was driven by a determination to be true to what it is to feel. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOffering new readings of major literary texts, and original research into their historical contexts, \u003cem\u003eModernism and the Rhythms of Sympathy\u003c\/em\u003e sets modernist texts alongside recent discussions of emotion and cognition. It offers a fresh reading of literary modernism, and suggests how modernism might continue to unsettle our thinking about feeling today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsty Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199674086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199674084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Kirsty Martin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419026014463,"sku":"9780199674084","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1e1d7a0-7fdb-4b62-88f7-860a1ac68170.jpg?v=1761508991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernism-and-the-rhythms-of-kirsty-martin-9780199674084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
