Delve into the evolving narrative of death during the modernist period. This insightful literary analysis explores how major cultural shifts and intellectual revolutions reshaped the representation of mortality in 20th-century fiction and beyond. Trace the semiotics of dying, from rituals elided by writers like Woolf to the visceral ‘dirty death’ redefined by Lawrence and Hemingway. The book highlights how postmodern fiction and AIDS narratives re-established death as cultural currency. A must-read for students and scholars in India engaged with cultural history, literary theory, and the profound impact of modernism.
