Modernism and Christianity is about the formative and continuing impact
of Christianity upon the cultural movement known as Modernism. It
defends the view that any theoretical, historical, or critical
discussion of Modernism that neglects or minimises that impact is
inevitably flawed. The whole field of Modernism Studies should thus be
re-thought in accordance with the insight that the role of Christianity
is intrinsic to any coherent account of Modernism. The book establishes
'Modernism and Christianity' as a distinct field of study, and
undertakes case studies of six authors in their historical context:
James Joyce, David Jones, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, W. H. Auden, and
Samuel Beckett.
