Romance in the Time of Modernism: A Literature of Silence reasserts the theme of love in an age of anguish. Modernism has been and still is studied and interpreted under multiple perspectives. However, there is a lacuna in the corpus of scholarship: the theme of love has been ignored. Being modernism iconoclastic and obscure in its premises, but also dark in its conclusion, how do modernist characters love? This book emphasizes the persistence of romance in an age of dissolution. In spite of the homologation process that the industrial revolution has started, modernist characters are still individuals of passion but it is a passion they are incapable of telling. Love is a romance that is blended with everything modernism is synonymous with: alienation, nihilism, fragmentation, the terror of those who live in a universe meant to be silent.
Alberto Castelli is writer and humanities professor at Hainan University, China.
