Short description/annotation
Modernist novelists played an active part in the development of globalization rather than charting the decline of the Empire.
Main description
In the early twentieth century, subjects of the British Empire ceased to rely on a model of centre and periphery in imagining their world and came instead to view it as an interconnected network of cosmopolitan people and places. English language and literature were promoted as essential components of a commercial, cultural, and linguistic network that spanned the globe. John Marx argues that the early twentieth century was a key moment in the emergence of modern globalization, rather than simply a period of British imperial decline. Modernist fiction was actively engaged in this transformation of society on an international scale. The very stylistic abstraction that seemed to remove modernism from social reality, in fact internationalized the English language. Rather than mapping the decline of Empire, modernist novelists such as Conrad and Woolf celebrated the shared culture of the English language as more important than the waning imperial structures of Britain.
Table of contents:
Introduction: the decline of Britain and the rise of English; 1. Conrad's gout; 2. Sentimental administration; 3. Gender, aesthetics, and colonial expertise; 4. The domestic life of primitivism; 5. Local authority after Empire.
