- Summary
- Examining work from Ford and Conrad's pre-war impressionism through Rhys's fiction of the late 1930s, this text shows how modernist innovation engages with transformations in early 20th century capitalism and how modernist fiction reconfigured capitalist mythologies along the fault lines of their internal contradictions.
