Produktbeschreibung

The first to systematically examine Waugh's relationship with cinema in the context of modernism, this book examines his departure from high modernism, which took the form of an 'outward turn' privileging exteriority over the interiority of consciousness, foregrounding talk and drawing on cinema, comedy, and satire.
