Tense Future

[Dave Monroe]

Tense Future
Modernism, Total War, Encyclopedic Form
Paul K. Saint-Amour

Pays long-overdue attention to the role of anticipation in trauma, as
against the nearly exclusive focus in trauma studies on post-traumatic
syndromes

Challenges the traditional view that the 1920s and '30s were an
"interwar" period only from the retrospective vantage of World War II
and after

Unsettles the scholarly consensus around "modern epic" by tracing
long-form modernist fiction's debt to the French Encyclopédie
