The Cambridge Quarterly is pleased to present a new special issue:
After Modernism?
Volume 38, Number 3, September 2009
This special issue looks at the richly ambiguous middle decades of the twentieth century, the years from 1930 to 1960. In a time of crisis, in the shadow of war, a generation of English writers re-discovers the potent virtues of the national-popular. They observe the urgent quest for a newly imagined collective identity, a new heimlichkeit. They emerge, in 1945, chastened yet still dissenting, to chronicle, to question and to satirise a world of Coronation, Cold War and somnolent consumerism. What power does the writer still possess in this, the latest era of modernity?

A Review of this Issue
"The Cambridge Quarterly has published a brilliant issue entitled Henry James in the Modern World (Vol 37, Issue 1) that presents thirteen essays chiefly devoted to James's work published from 1907 until his death. Anyone fascinated by James will want to read this issue and, if possible, buy it.” George Core, The Sewanee Review
