作者：  Paul Sheehan.

简介：Identifying a fundamental shift between 1850 and 1950, a turning away from the human as a given towards the human as a problem, the author examines how English language novelists grappled with the unmooring of humanism. He relates the writings of Conrad, Beckett, Woolf, and Lawrence to the philosophies of Darwin, Nietzsche, and Schopenhauer, investigating their varying valuations of the human. The writers' use of narrative form is identified as being central to their contribution to an antihumanist discourse. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
