Omschrijving
In "Essays on Modern Novelists," William Lyon Phelps offers a nuanced exploration of the primary figures in the early 20th-century literary landscape. Combining critical examination with personal insight, Phelps delves into the works and philosophies of notable authors, such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Mark Twain. His essays are characterized by a lucid prose style that effortlessly intertwines literary analysis with biographical context, drawing on his own profound understanding of literary movements and their cultural implications. This work belongs to a tradition of literary criticism that seeks not only to evaluate texts but also to illuminate the complexities of modernity that these authors grappled with in their narratives. Phelps, an eminent scholar and educator, was pivotal in shaping American literary criticism. His extensive career at Yale University, where he taught for over three decades, allowed him to engage deeply with both contemporary and classic literature. Phelps's rich background in literary study, combined with his passion for sharing literature's transformative power, informed his desire to elucidate the connections among modern novelists and their historical contexts. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of the novel and its architects. Phelps's insightful essays invite readers to consider the broader themes within modernity and to appreciate the artistry of these novelists, making it an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and avid readers alike.
