摘要:Ellison's book is an ambitious presentation of the aesthetic and ethical dimensions of Modernist literature. Ellison brings together philosophical, theoretical, and literary texts ranging over a century and a half of intellectual history. He shows, through close readings, how the struggle between aesthetic and ethical issues characterises each of them.
