The Modern Movement
By John Gross
$12.00
For the past ninety years The Times Literary Supplement has scrutinised, dissected, applauded, and occasionally disparaged, the work of the twentieth century’s leading writers.
It has taken a major hand in the making, and breaking, of literary reputations. Its columns have consistently offered a passionate debate on current literature, and have reflected the development of tastes and fashions in fiction, poetry, drama, and literary criticism.
In The Modern Movement, John Gross has assembled a lavish selection from this running debate as he focuses the spotlight on authors and their fortunes with the public — from W.B. Yeats and D.H. Lawrence to Marianne Moore and Jorge Luis Borges. Readers may now discover the sharp — or occasionally blunt — views of T.S.Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Wyndham Lewis, Anthony Burgess and a host of other influential writers (most of them hitherto anonymous) on the books they have read. Here is a survey on modern writers and writing to afford hours of delight and stimulation.
