Summary

This study explores attitudes of theorists who see reading and writing as inescapably moulded and informed by historical circumstance. It examines new historicism, cultural materialism and Marxism, and their productive engagement with varieties of formalism and textualism.

Cunning Passages by Jeremy Hawthorn

Cunning Passages explores the implications such debates have for our attempts to understand both reports of historical events, such as Hiroshima or the Nazi holocaust, and also fictional and poetic works whose relation to historical actuality is more complex and indirect. The book interrogates a range of other texts from, primarily, the period of high modernism, in the light of these theoretical debates.

Professor of Modern British Literature at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway, JEREMY HAWTHORN
