Toward Post-Postmodernism. About Alasdair Gray's "Glaswegians"

Mehr zum Buch

Alasdair Gray challenges the label of postmodernism often attributed to him, expressing skepticism about the concept in a letter to Dietmar Böhnke. He critiques the idea as a construct of scholars seeking to define a literary territory. This seminar paper, graded highly at the University of Tubingen, explores Gray's views and positions within the context of postmodern literature, particularly in relation to other authors like those in "Dubliners" and "Glaswegians." The analysis highlights the complexities of literary classification and authorial intent.
