MODERNIST BELONGINGS
STUDIES ON COMUNITY, IDENTITY, ADSCRIPTION
PEREZ-DE-LUQUE, JUAN L.
This volume breaks away from traditional readings of literary modernism in English, offering a fresh and fascinating interpretation. Rather than viewing modernism solely as a movement of rupture and isolation, it explores its persistent search for community, integration, and belonging. Through rigorous yet accessible essays, the book examines how major figures like Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Ezra Pound, and E.E. Cummings, as well as seemingly peripheral authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, articulate a reactive need for belonging, even as they rebel against the constraints imposed by nationalism, social structures, and traditional narrative forms. This volume offers: ? A renewed and critical vision of modernism, dismantling myths about the alienated subject and solipsism. ? The opportunity to understand modernism as a relational space, where belonging does not always mean conformity but rather the rediscovery of identity through new connections.
