Modernist fiction and news : representing experience in the early twentieth century / David Rando

• Introduction : modernism, news, and the representation of experience -- Nearness -- Scandal -- Character -- Identity -- War -- Coda : make it now.

• "Modernist fiction and news "characterizes modernist fiction in terms of its intimate, creative, and experimental relationship with the newly reorganized and rapidly expanding news industry of the early twentieth century. This original study reveals the ways in which writers such as Gertrude Stein, James Joyce, John Dos Passos, and Virginia Woolf engaged with the discourse and narratives of the news to establish an experimental space for representing experience with the hope of greater immediacy and faithfulness to reality. David Rando explores how the contested category of experience motivated these key writers to sustain defining engagements with the revolutionized news discourse that claimed so much narrative space and power in their culture.
