Reviews

... important study ... The sheer sweep of [Trotter's] study is impressive ... His analyses are never less than illuminating ... Trotter's interpretations are invariably stimulating. English Literature in Transition 1880-1920 This is a significant study of modernism that is likely to change the way readers look, not just at modern literature, but at literature and art generally. It demonstrates beyond question that paranoia and literature have much in common. English Literature in Transition 1880-1920 Trotter has a complicated story to tell, but he tells it with admirable lucidity ... erudite and exhilarating. Adam Phillips, London Review of Books
