Summary Essays on British novelists associated with the modernism, a movement characterized by its insistence on the autonomy of the work of art: a novel is not merely a reflection of the life it depicts but is its own enterprise; modernist fiction draws attention to itself, its codes, its forms and its methods. Irony, attitudes lf detachment and ambivalence, and the relativity of time are other preoccupations in modernist novels.
