Echoes and Incantations in Eliot, H.D., and Woolf

252 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

'The Sound of the Past' collects nine essays on the topic of Modernism and its relationship to past histories, literatures, artworks, environments, and cultural moments. The collection specifically explores the way sound informs the work of T. S. Eliot, H.D. (Hilda Doolittle), and Virginia Woolf. Some chapters address sound through allusion and prosody, while others do so through travel and "anaesthetics." Sound allows echoing, seeming, voicing, announcing, scaling, plunging, and hearing. These allowances offer a wide approach to both literary and sound studies. This collection addresses various genres, including the long poem, the novel, the travelogue, and the "it-narrative." As such, it will be a useful collection for anyone interested in the multiform way Modernist writers echo or channel their precursors.
