Lewis's originality, however, can only be fully grasped when it is understood that, unlike those writers, he was essentially a political novelist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this now classic study, Fredric Jameson proposes a framework in which Lewis's explosive language practice--utterly unlike any other English or American modernism--can be grasped as a political and symbolic act. He does not, however, ask us to admire the energy of Lewis's style without confronting the inescapable and often scandalous ideological content of Lewis's works: the aggressivity and sexism, the predilection for racial and national categories, the brief flirtation with fascism, and the inveterate and cranky oppositionalism that informs his powerful polemics against virtually all the political and countercultural tendencies of his time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFables of Aggression\u003c\/i\u003e draws on the methods of narrative analysis and semiotics, psychoanalysis, and ideological analysis to construct a dynamic model of the contradictions from which Lewis's incomparable narrative corpus is generated, and of which it offers so many varying symbolic resolutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fredric Jameson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.12h x 6.14w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844672790","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710684041353,"sku":"9781844672790","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b118e37c-0794-4078-8646-eac2650f044f.jpg?v=1719542979","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/fables-of-aggression-wyndham-lewis-the-modernist-as-fascist-9781844672790","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
