Cloth, 4to, 29 cm, xxvii, 442 pp, ills, facs. From the introduction: ".the majority of the authors [covered in this volume] remain obscure to many rcaders. This volume attempts to recover those writers. The novelists treated in DLB 191 range from those who started to write just as World War I drew to a close in 1918 to those who embarked on their literary careers just prior to the advent of World War II in 1939. The wars have not always demarcated this period in literary histories. In the early years of the period itself, writers and critics began to refer to themselves as Georgians, after the accession to the throne of George V in 1910. The work of these writers was characterized by a reaction against Victorian moral conventions and by a seriousness of purpose that often included an interest in social reform or in psychological probing of character. From within this movement, however, there appeared just prior to World War I a small group of writers who practiced a much more radical experimentation in form than did the majority of their peers. In the genre of the novel the radicalism of these writers - who included Woolf, James Joyce. D. H. Lawrence, and Dorothy Richardson - gained enormous impetus from the feelings of chaos, disillusionment, and disintegration generated by the war, even though most of them had not participated in it. In the postwar decades such younger writers as Aldous Huxley, Rose Macaulay, and Rebecca West followcd their lead. By their early critics these writers were variously labeled 'avant-garde' or 'sophisticates' because of their progressive attitudes and the technical daring and complexity of some of their work, or "post-Freudian" because of their assimilation of some of the findings and techniques of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory and, perhaps, because of the inward-looking character of their work. Not until the earliest of these writers was in mid career, in the late 1920s, did the label Modernist begin to be applied to the poets among them; it has continued to be applied to writers working up to the early 1960s."
