"In Modernism, Narrative and Humanism, Paul Sheehan attempts to redefine modernist narrative for the twenty-first century. For Sheehan modernism presents a major form of critique of the fundamental presumptions of humanism. By pairing key modernist writers with philosophical critics of the humanist tradition, he shows how modernistssought to discover humanism’s inhuman potential.Heexamines the development of narrative during the modernist period and sets it against, among others, the nineteenth-century philosophicalwritings of Schopenhauer, Darwin and Nietzsche. Focusing on the major novels and poetics of Conrad, Lawrence,Woolf and Beckett, Sheehan investigates these writers’ mistrust of humanist orthodoxyand their consequent transformations and disfigurations of narrative order. He reveals the crucial link between the modernist novel’snarrative concerns and its philosophical orientation in a book that will be of compelling interest to scholars of modernism and literarytheory."
