Contents Late Modernism inside the whale -- Narrative itinerary -- Authority's apocalypse -- Rereading and recasting
Summary Recovers the significance of the "lost generation"f of writers of the 1930s and 1940s. [The author] examines how the Personalism of anarcho-anti-authoritarian contemporaries such as Alex Comfort, Robert Duncan, Lawrence Durrell, J.F. Hendry, Henry Miller, Elizabeth Smart, Dylan Thomas, and Henry Treece forges a missing link between Late Modernist and postmodernist literature. He concludes by applying his recontextualization to four familiar texts by Miller, Durrell, Smart, and Duncan
