Book Description:
|
Modernist literature discovered through myth an underlying metaphysic to an increasingly fragmented world. Michael Bell's study shows how modernists also used myth to emphasize the contingency of all values. This anti-foundational element, Bell claims, enables myth to act as a corrective to the political claims of ideological critique.
