dc.description.abstract | At first glance it seems entirely fitting that the cover of Mark D. Larabee’s Front Lines of Modernism: Remapping the Great War in British Fiction is presented in military green, with the title in boldface set against a part of a military map detailing trenches and bomb craters. It is a striking cover but the impression it creates is “special interest”—worthy, but narrow and niche. Do not be misled, though. Beyond the paratextual camouflage Front Lines of Modernism is a far-reaching and ambitious book that seeks to identify how literary texts of the modernist period (though not necessarily of the modernist canon) respond to a sense of space—topographical space in particular—epistemologically and aesthetically determined by the experience of the Great War. The military and cartographic emphasis opens up a front wherein the significance and effect of this development can be most clearly observed, but the book is keenly alive to the broader context, which it presents as a move away from a positivistic sense of space and an increased awareness of the inadequacies of representation. | en_GB |
