Paul Peppis (University of Oregon)

Sciences of Modernism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the intersection of British literature and the human sciences of ethnography, sexology and psychology at the dawn of the twentieth century. By analyzing literary texts alongside scientific ones, Paul Peppis demonstrates how these competing disciplines participated in the formation of modernism as a broad, cross-disciplinary cultural movement.
