Edition DescriptionNew Edition

SynopsisThe study situates Norman Mailer in the tradition of Modernism, showing how he imbibed the worldview of a coterie of male modernist writers who imposed their notions of art and literature and politics on the movement. Mailer followed a specific ideological path, moving from a rejection of liberalism, technocracy and mass culture to a Gnostic vision., This study is a comprehensive scholarly treatment of Norman Mailer's entire oeuvre , including not only his fiction and non-fiction, but also his correspondence, his early journal articles and his interviews. It outlines Mailer's Entwicklungsgeschichte , illuminating the lines of continuity and discontinuity in his literary achievement and shows Mailer's work to be firmly ensconced in the tradition of Modernism and inspired by the Pound-Eliot axis. It argues that Mailer's literary opus is intertwined with his worldview, which, despite its inconsistencies and contradictions, contains a systematic structure.
