Cynicism and Postmodernity by Timothy Bewes
This study descends into the modern cynical consciousness and emerges with a critical assessment of the preoccupations of contemporary society. It charts the development of a culture of cynicism in forms, such as an obsession with finality and integrity.
In this brilliant and extremely readable diagnosis of our times, Timothy Bewes ranges effortlessly across the fields of literary and social theory and contemporary social and cultural criticism, relocating current controversies over politics and culture in a new and persuasive framework-- Professor William Outhwaite, University of Sussex
