"This densely argued and fascinating book creatively returns to the decaying hulk of the Bildungsroman and reconstructs it as a vital site of modernist experimentation and innovation. Rather than simple coming-of-age stories, Castle discovers in such diverse works as Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray, Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, and Joyce's Ulysses a powerful failure that is nevertheless productive of a fundamentally new conception of national and gendered identities."--Sean Latham, University of Tulsa The Bildungsroman is a genre novel whose territory is well traveled, that...

In Modernism and the Celtic Revival, Gregory Castle examines the impact of anthropology on the work of Irish Revivalists such as W. B. Yeats, John M. Synge and James Joyce. Castle argues that anthropology enabled Irish Revivalists to confront and combat British imperialism. Castle shows how Irish Modernists employed textual and rhetorical strategies first developed in anthropology to translate, reassemble, and edit oral and folk-cultural material. Drawing on a wide range of postcolonial theory, this book should be of interest to scholars in Irish studies, postcolonial studies, and Modernism.

Modernists such as Thomas Hardy, D. H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia Woolf adopted and reinvigorated the Bildungsroman form as a means of telling stories about longing and transition. With this first major study of the...
