Description

This book examines the impact of the new liberalism on English literary discourse from the fin-de-siecle to World War One. It maps out an extensive network of journalists, men of letters and political theorists, showing how their shared political and literary vocabularies offer new readings of liberalism's relation to an emerging modernist culture.
