Review # 1 was written on 2019-07-18 00:00:00 Kenneth Pope Perhaps a slightly niche and dated book but I enjoyed it. Achieves what it sets out to do. A good survey of UK novels in financial settings and some of the deeper issues about money and financial trading/speculation they have influenced and sought to represent in the 20th century

Review # 2 was written on 2019-04-09 00:00:00 Dale Fust Boy was this a long read for me..It took me forever to get through, but I'm very glad that I managed it, I feel it gave me great insight into modernist fiction. There's plenty that I struggled to understand, and I've no doubt that I will return to this book at a later date..I'm very happy to have finally finished it, I can now move on to other things. One of the essays that I'll have to soon begin writing (on 'Homo Faber') will force me to deal with the issue of modernism in literature, so I'm hoping this book has given me a headstart on that. I found the chapters on 'Time' & 'Values' most interesting, 'Space' and 'Art' were a little more taxing to me. Still a wonderful, useful read.
