Establishing a new theoretical foothold at the crossroads of human, nonhuman, and posthuman studies in literary modernism, Ethical Crossroads in Literary Modernism broadens our current understanding of modernist ethics. Analysing a wide range of poetry, drama, prose fiction, and non-fiction writing, these essays expand the vertical and horizontal boundaries of modernist studies while addressing a number of the thematic concerns and critical approaches that are currently at the vanguard of modernist studies. These provocations, produced by both established critics and emerging scholars, include interrogations of the ethics of collaboration and influence through the lenses of queer theory, feminism, and ecocriticism, among others. The wide ranging geographical and interdisciplinary scope of this collection, which includes fields such as law and literature and animal studies, refreshes and reconfigures past debates on the positive influence and ethical failures of modernist literature for a new generation of researchers and students. This edited collection is the first book length study to use such an expansive and cutting-edge definition of modernist ethics and acts as both the definitive introduction to the topic and offers a series of original and ground-breaking essays.
