BBC Radio 4: In Our Time: 'Literary Modernism'

Here is an interesting discussion on Modernism, on the flagship BBC radio 4 cultural programme In Our Time, with the legendary Melvyn Bragg and guests.  Click on the link below, sit back, and enjoy!

 BBC Radio 4: In Our Time, with Melvyn Bragg:

 "The literary movement that embraced Joyce, DH Lawrence, TS Eliot, Virginia Woolf and many others in the early decades of the twentieth century. Modernism claimed to be revolutionary, and has been accused of being wilfully obscure. Some modernist writers campaigned for the rites of working women, others embraced fascism. What were the movement's defining features, and do the questions that exercised the genre at the start of the twentieth century have relevance to us at the beginning of the twenty-first?"
