The Pelican Guide to European Literature,Vol.5 by James Mcfarlane
'The Modern movement in the arts transformed consciousness and artistic form just as the energies of modernity--scientific, technological, philosophical, political--transformed for ever the nature, the speed, the sensation of human life, ' write the editors in their new Preface. This now classic survey explores the ideas, the groupings and the social tensions that shaped this transformation.James McFarlane is of Scottish ancestry and comes from a working-class Catholic family. He received his education at a secondary modern school and spent the majority of his formative years as a wastrel before enrolling in a skill course and eventually becoming a qualified electrician. He's a philosopher, and he's an obsessive type of philosopher. He's an unusual fellow, as are all original thinkers. As a result, there will be no traditional marriage or children.
