Practising Postmodernism/Reading Modernism by Patricia Waugh

Practising Postmodernism/Reading Modernism by Patricia Waugh

Instead of accepting postmodernism on its own terms as a radical break with previous Western modes of knowledge and representation, it is more fruitful, Patricia Waugh argues, to view it as a late phase in a tradition of aestheticist thought inaugurated by philosophers such as Kant and embodied in Romantic and modernist art.

Patricia Waugh is a well-known author and critic in the field of contemporary fiction and criticism. She is the author of Revolutions of the Word: Intellectual Contexts for the Study of Contemporary Literature (1997) and The Harvest of the Sixties: English Literature and its Backgrounds (1995). She's also produced a number of collections and anthologies on modern literary theory and postmodernism, the most recent of which was The Arts and Sciences of Criticism (co-edited with David Fuller).
