"This study of masterworks by early 20th-century authors provides context for understanding these remarkable works in the wake of societal upheavals and changes that characterized the period....Themes introduced in the preface are woven throughout the examination of individual works, from Heart of Darkness to Mrs. Dalloway , giving a solid introduction to critical analysis. An excellent guide for beginning researchers." -- Curriculum Connections "This title provides a critical overview of works by six authors. Following a concise introduction, one seminal novel each by Joseph Conrad ( Heart of Darkness ), E. M. Forster ( Howards End ), James Joyce ( A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man ), D. H. Lawrence ( Women in Love ), and Virginia Woolf ( Mrs. Dalloway ) as well as two poems by T. S. Eliot ( The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and The Waste Land ) are discussed. Each chapter includes biographical context, plot summary, character development, symbols and motifs, narrative style, and historical context. This nearly uniform approach facilitates easy use for beginning researchers. Themes articulated in the introduction are successfully woven throughout to provide a clear picture of the ties between the authors, their works, and this period of social upheaval at the turn of the 20th century....[p]rovides accessible criticism for any library in need of titles on this period, or on the works discussed within." -- School Library Journal "Miller introduces students and general readers to seven classic texts by six key authors of the Modernist period in British literature.
