Overview

In this study, the author explores how Conrad, T.S. Eliot, Woolf, Joyce, Faulkner, Hemingway, Huxley and others responded to the immediate challenges of their time, to the implications of Freudian psychology, molecular theory, relativist theory, and the general weakening of religious faith. Assuming that artists and writers, in coping with those problems, would develop techniques in many ways comparable, even where there was no direct contact, he positions modernist literature within the context of contemporary painting, architecture and sculpture, thereby providing some interesting insights into the nature of the literary works themselves.
