Literature, modernism and myth : belief and responsibility in the twentieth century / Michael Bell, professor of English literature, University of Warwick. - Reprinted edition. - viii, 260 pages ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Modernist literature discovered through myth an underlying metaphysic to an increasingly fragmented world. Michael Bell's study shows how modernists also used myth to emphasize the contingency of all values. This anti-foundational element, Bell claims, enables myth to act as a corrective to the political claims of ideological critique.
