Recenzje

In The Evolutions of Modernist Epic, Paris proved to be a true comparatist by bypassing all the artificial limitations and boundaries of various genres, concepts, and ideologies such as Darwinism, epic and world literature in order to analyze personal and unique "evolutions" of individuals represented in selected modernist works. By combining science with literature, he offers an unbiased reading to better understand the human nature.
