Authored by the noted critic A.C. Ward, this work provides a detailed examination of the shifting trends, emerging genres, and influential voices that defined a pivotal era in English letters. Ward explores the evolution of the novel, the revitalisation of drama, and the profound changes in poetic expression following the Victorian period.The text delves into the works of prominent figures such as George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, and Arnold Bennett, as well as the leaders of the modernist movement. It traces the transition from late-Victorian traditionalism to the experimentation of the Edwardian and Georgian periods, offering critical analysis of how historical events and social changes mirrored the literary output of the time. Ward's assessment captures the spirit of an age marked by rapid intellectual development and artistic innovation.A fundamental resource for students of literary history and enthusiasts of modern classics, "Twentieth-Century Literature 1901-1940" remains a significant contribution to the study of modern literature.
