Scandalous Fictions: The Twentieth-Century Novel in the Public Sphere
ISBN: 9781403995841 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Riven by world wars and cold wars, atrocities and genocides, the twentieth-century was also one of sexual, cultural and ideological revolutions, each inscribed across the fictions it produced.

Discussing ten groundbreaking texts against the challenges of their milieux, it considers twentieth century fiction as a tradition of transgression, perennially caught between license and licentiousness, erudition and sedition.
