- This c.110,000-word research monograph ranges across languages and across literary and philosophical traditions in nine chapters plus an introduction and conclusion. Beginning with Nietzsche’s notion of the ‘pathos of distance’, the book offers a wide-ranging analysis of the ethics of modernism by engaging with work by Yeats, Joyce, Beckett, T.S. Eliot, Alfred Jarry, Jean Cocteau, Siri Hustvedt, J.M. Coetzee and others. The monograph also offers a theoretical framework combining psychoanalysis and philosophy that builds on work by Nietzsche, Barthes, Deleuze, Lacan, and others.
