Structure and Dissolution in English Writing, 1910-1920 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780333605400)

This book explores key texts - Howards End, The Rainbow, and the poetry of Owen, Sassoon and Edward Thomas - to show the mingled continuation and rejection of convention as their characteristic achievement, exploring features often seen as failures. It also discusses the writing's increasing concern with the inadequacies of language, seeing it within the frame of contemporary society and deconstructive theory, and attempting to locate them in relation to high Modernism.
