Tense future : modernism, total war, encyclopedic form / Paul K. Saint-Amour. - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Access restricted to subscribing institutions.
'Tense Future' falls into two parts. The first develops a critical account of total war discourse and addresses the resistant potential of acts, including acts of writing, before a future that looks barred or pre-determined by war. Part two shifts the focus to long inter-war narratives that pit both their scale and their formal turbulence against total war's portrait of the social totality, producing both ripostes and alternatives to that portrait in the practice of literary encyclopedism.
Mode of access: World Wide Web.
