This stylistic study of consciousness in the Modernist novel explores shifts across different viewpoints and the techniques through which they are dialogically interconnected. The dialogic resonances in the presentation of character consciousness are analysed using linguistic evidence and evidence drawn from everyday conversational practices.

Reviews

"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)
