| Summary |
"Riven by world wars and cold wars, atrocities and genocides, the twentieth century was also one of sexual, cultural and ideological revolutions, each inscribed across the fictions it produced. This essay collection re-examines the twentieth-century novel as a form shaped by its problematic, often scandalous relation to the public sphere." -- Publisher description |
