Recenzje

'Bluemel's intellectually engaging book has defined a new literary category, intermodernism, with the potential of gaining sufficient critical mass to reshape our understanding of the literature of the past seventy-five years.' - Textual Practice

'This book makes a welcome demand for a reconceptualisation of the categories through which British literature of the 1930s and 1940s has customarily been understood...Bluemel provides a compelling new perspective on the literature and culture of the period.' - Forum for Modern Language Studies
