{"product_id":"personal-modernisms-james-gifford-9781772120011","title":"Personal Modernisms: Anarchist Networks and the Later Avant-Gardes","description":"Gifford's invigorating work of metacriticism and literary history recovers the significance of the \"lost generation\" of writers of the 1930s and 1940s. He examines how the Personalism of anarcho-anti-authoritarian contemporaries such as Alex Comfort, Robert Duncan, Lawrence Durrell, J.F. Hendry, Henry Miller, Elizabeth Smart, Dylan Thomas, and Henry Treece forges a missing link between Late Modernist and postmodernist literature. He concludes by applying his recontextualization to four familiar texts by Miller, Durrell, Smart, and Duncan, and encourages readers to re-engage the lost generation using this new critical lens. Scholars and students of literary modernism, twentieth-century Canadian literature, and anarchism will find a productive vision of this neglected period within Personal Modernisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Gifford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772120014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772120011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alberta Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.14w x 0.79d","brand":"James Gifford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450004091135,"sku":"9781772120011","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8797653a-c047-4b79-97c0-8b3366ef781d.jpg?v=1777265823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/personal-modernisms-james-gifford-9781772120011","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
