AB "A unique and important book. Our understanding of literary modernism, which we think we know so well, is transformed by these analyses of the anthropological insights that it holds for readers."--Andrew J. McKenna, Loyola UniversityEmploying Northrop Frye and Ren Girard as his theoretical foundation, Johnsen reinterprets the works of three canonical modernists--Ibsen, Joyce, and Woolf--to argue for their commitment to analyzing collective violence as a defining motive in literary modernism
AB Myth, ritual, and modern literature after Girard -- Pillars of a self-sacrificial society -- Folkevenner og Folkefiender: Ibsen's research in modern behavior -- Joyce's sisters -- To live, not die, for his country: Stephen D(a)edalus and Ireland's future -- Finding the father: Virginia Woolf, feminism, and modernism.
