Einstein’s Wake: Relativity, Metaphor, and Modernist Literature 1st Edition by Michael H. Whitworth (PDF)

Description

Beginning with influential aspects of nineteenth-century physics, Einstein’s Wake qualifies the notion that Einstein alone was responsible for literary “relativity”; it goes on to examine the fine detail of his legacy in literary appropriations of scientific metaphors, with particular attention to Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Wyndham Lewis, and T. S. Eliot.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “This well-researched and well-documented study…provides an insightful and provocative aid in understanding and revising the fundamental concepts of modernism.”–Choice”This is a well-crafted book about the reception of science (especially physics) by modernist literature in England….What one can learn from this book is a great deal about the popularization of science at the time, about ideas “in the air” and in the social milieu, and about their direct effect on writers of the importance of Conrad, Woolf, and Lewis. Enstien’s Wake is a good start at limning pathways of information and figuration from science to literature.”–English Literature in Transition 1880-1920 About the Author Michael H. Whitworth Lecturer in English, University of Wales, Bangor
