Description
The British literature which emerged in the fertile time between the final years of Victoria's reign and the conclusion of World War One is conventionally characterized as either Edwardian or Modernist. Yet this distinction is misleadingly divisive - the Edwardians are often relegated to minor status as issue-bound and technically inept, while the Modernists are elevated to greatness as timeless artistic innovators. Seeing Double seeks to address these commonly accepted designations by rediscovering, reconsidering, and reassesing the British literature of that era.
