This paradigm shift in all arts and modern science made\u003cbr\u003etraditional beliefs, norms, and social patterns obsolete. Forerunners were 19th-century\u003cbr\u003eintellectuals, who favoured a new and lively spiritual culture. A new concept of\u003cbr\u003ereality not only changed the view of nature (atomic physics) but also the structure\u003cbr\u003eand gist of literature. As the belief in the visible world declined, consciousness and\u003cbr\u003esymbolism (surface and depth structures) occupied the focus of attention. Literature\u003cbr\u003ebecame an autonomous field. From artistic subjectivity modernism led the way to\u003cbr\u003ecrystallizing creations of complex imaginative structures. Simultaneously, neorealism\u003cbr\u003ein philosophy and relativity in physics substituted a worn-out mechanistic world\u003cbr\u003epicture by a scientific reality reaching far beyond the visible world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface — Modernist Aesthetics: Late 19th and Early 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Century England — Modernism and Modernities — Vitalism, Empiricism, and the Quest for Reality in English and German Philosophy — Understanding Foreign Culture as an Integral Part of British Studies — List of first prints — Bibliography . \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044551852375,"sku":"9783631874059","price":38.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631874059.jpg?v=1750961992","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/on-modernism-9783631874059","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
