Unseasonable Youth by Jed Esty
Unseasonable Youth examines a range of modernist-era fictions by Wilde, Woolf, Conrad, Joyce, Bowen, and others to challenge and expand our understanding of the bildungsroman genre.
The power of Esty's text to rewire one's thinking is most evident in the fact that such quibbles arise only once one has accepted his ambitious reframing of the late nineteenth-and early twentieth-century novelistic tradition... This is a major rereading of the modernist novel. Its analysis will be unavoidable for future critics of the period. * Modern Language Quarterly: A Journal of Literary History Esty's extensive secondary references, awareness of critical trends, and what the series editors right call his 'admirable stylistic panache' are all impressive. Recommended.?CHOICE *
