Fables of Aggression: Wyndham Lewis, the Modernist as Fascist, New Edition

Jameson's controversial reading of one of the great twentieth-century writers. The novels of Wyndham Lewis have generally been associated with the work of the great modernists--Joyce, Pound, Eliot, Yeats--who were his sometime friends and collaborators. Lewis's originality, however, is born of the fact that, unlike these writers, he was in essence a political novelist. Fredric Jameson proposes a framework in which Lewis's explosive language practice can be grasped as a symbolic and political act.Jameson, Fredric is the author of 'Fables of Aggression: Wyndham Lewis, the Modernist as Fascist, New Edition', published 2008 under ISBN 9781844672783 and ISBN 1844672786.
