The Influence of Post-Modernism on Contemporary Writing: An Interdisciplinary Study

By David Punter

This book treats postmodernism in its own terms, regarding it as a phenomenon which both represents a contemporary moment and also looks toward its own transcendence, passing away, disappearance. The book's critical range extends from the Gothic through to the most recent harbingers of modernity, and describes a trajectory that will take account of recent fiction/poetry and point readers to the development that will textualize into the 21st century.
