Reviews

'This volume is a useful resource for those interested in stylistics or in modernist fiction, in particular, Lawrence, Woolf and Joyce. Summing up: recommended for upper-division undergraduates through faculty.' - W. DiPasquale, Gwenedd-Mercy College, USA

“Seasoned scholars of both modernism and linguistics (as well as students of each) will find food for thought in the clear explanations of the linguistic complexities at work in modernist literary technique found in Consciousness in Modernist Fiction. … Consciousness in Modernist Fiction makes a solid contribution to critical understanding of the underexplored field of modernist representations of consciousness.” (Rebecca Nicholson-Weir, Modern Fiction Studies, Vol. 62 (1), 2016)
