Study Bible-NKJV-Personal Size by Earl D Radmacher

'Persuasively and engagingly, Nina Engelhardt demonstrates that modernism's relation to contemporary mathematics was often more analogous than adversarial. This fascinating study extends understanding of modernism within its historical and cultural context, opening up a seldom-explored area through incisive critical discussion of mathematics and narrative innovation.' Randall Stevenson, University of Edinburgh An analysis of novelistic explorations of modernism in mathematics and its cultural interrelations Modernism in mathematics - this unusual notion turns out to provide a new perspective on central questions in and beyond literary modernism. Contrasting 'mathematical fictions' from and about the heyday of mathematical modernism, this book relates literary engagements with mathematical modernism to the wider context of modernist critiques of Enlightenment values and postmodern reassessments of modernist patterns. The analysis of canonical works by Thomas Pynchon, Hermann Broch and Robert Musil demonstrates how mathematics is accorded a central role as a particularly telling indicator of modernist transformations, and how imaginative illustrations contribute to establishing mathematics as part of modernist culture. In its interdisciplinary exploration of modernist interrelations between the surprisingly closely related fields of mathematics and literature, the book draws on prose works by mathematicians, research in the history and philosophy of mathematics and literary scholarship. Nina Engelhardt is Research Fellow for the Transformation of Knowledge research group at the University of Cologne.
