Materiality and mystification in 'A Passage to India.'
Article Abstract:
Critics' reactions to E.M. Forster's novel 'A Passage to India' has been varied since its first appearance in 1924. And after some 75 years, the book continues to receive praises as well as criticisms. However, because of it's reputation as conventional in form, language and value, an emergent modernism in Forster's metropolitan novel has been overlooked. This emergent modernism is inseparable from the novel's failure to reach its narrative destination in a colonial world.

Joyce, the Propheteer
Article Abstract:
The novels of James Joyce turned him into a one-of-a-kind, larger than life figure of the author par excellence, not his celebrity status that made him the perfect nexus of intertwining histories of modernist literature and celebrity culture. Joyce establishes the author as both a function of writing and means of decoding it thereby enacting a fantasy of a complete and bounded subjectivity uncontaminated by impermeable to the outside world.
