Frameworks of British Modernism examines the most iconic authors of the modern period in British literature, presented in chronological order, beginning with Henry James, an essential transitional character between realism and literary modernism, and ending with Harold Pinter – who also holds a controversial position, which makes the transition from modernism to postmodernism, although the author himself denied any form of labeling. The volume focuses on the pioneers and innovators of a period that shaped the literary canon in a way that has never been seen before. Each chapter begins with a biographical sketch of the authors, which allows a better understanding of the direction from which they evolved and continues with an analysis of their artistic identity, the influences that shaped their voices, techniques and literary styles, and a study applied to one or more of their representative works – works that in turn address universal themes that cross the boundaries of time.
