"There is a useful and interesting section on the philosophical and religious background to the rise of modernism..an excellent section entitled 'Modernist Literature'...Wilson concludes that there is to be found a certain coherence in the ideas and kinds of writing that the tem 'modernism' has come to describe. I think this has been amply and well documented in her book... This really is an excellent discussion." - The Use of English
