From Modernist Entombment to Postmodernist Exhumation: Dead Bodies in Twentieth-Century American Fiction
Lisa K. Perdigao
Arguing that the crisis of bodily representation can be traced in the move from modernist entombment to postmodernist exhumation, this title considers how works by writers from F Scott Fitzgerald, Willa Cather, and Richard Wright to Jody Shields, Octavia Butler, and Jeffrey Eugenides reflect changing attitudes about dying, death, and mourning.
