{"product_id":"9781772120011","title":"Personal Modernisms: Anarchist Networks and the Later Avant-Gardes","description":"Gifford’s invigorating work of metacriticism and literary history recovers the significance of the \"lost generation\" of writers of the 1930s and 1940s. He examines how the Personalism of anarcho-anti-authoritarian contemporaries such as Alex Comfort, Robert Duncan, Lawrence Durrell, J.F. Hendry, Henry Miller, Elizabeth Smart, Dylan Thomas, and Henry Treece forges a missing link between Late Modernist and postmodernist literature. He concludes by applying his recontextualization to four familiar texts by Miller, Durrell, Smart, and Duncan, and encourages readers to re-engage the lost generation using this new critical lens.
