While it has become commonplace to discount British novelist Kingsley Amis as a "naïve realist," a mere comedic novelist, even a misogynist and failed moralist, Andrew James argues that Amis was seriously concerned with the role of the artist in society and explored this subject in many of his novels. Throughout the first twenty years of his career, Amis used bad artists as whimsical characters, or antimodels, that helped identify his artistic preferences and fictional techniques. He became convinced that the relationship between an artist and his audience was reciprocal and that both the outer audience and the artist's inner circle must be held accountable for the production of bad literature. During the last twenty years of his career, Amis no longer concerned himself with satirizing bad artists, but instead explored ways of ameliorating them. James shows that the development of antimodels as fully drawn characters and Amis's insistence upon reciprocity in the writer-reader relationship demonstrate that he was more than just a comedic writer, and was aware of himself as an artist with social responsibilities. The first study of Amis to analyze manuscript revisions in all of his novel drafts, Kingsley Amis: Antimodels and the Audience shows the more serious side of a complex writer who has yet to receive the critical recognition he deserves.

Die vorliegende Studie widmet sich einem Genre, das von der literatur- und theaterwissenschaftlichen Forschung ungeachtet seiner Popularität bislang kaum fokussiert worden ist, dem Künstlerdrama. Ziel der Arbeit ist die Entwicklung einer systematischen Typologie aus feldtheoretischer Perspektive. Dabei werden ausgewählte Theatertexte u.a. von Gerhart Hauptmann, Bertolt Brecht, Wolfgang Bauer, Thomas Bernhard und Falk Richter theoriegeleitet und werkbezogen analysiert. Gefragt wird nach den kunst- und künstlerspezifischen Problemstellungen, den Kunstauffassungen der jeweiligen Autoren, die sich in den jeweiligen Dramen auf thematischer und literarästhetischer Ebene manifestieren sowie nach den Positionierungsstrategien der Dramatiker, können ihre Bühnenstücke doch als distinktive Stellungnahmen im kulturellen Feld gelesen werden. Neben den exemplarischen Einzelanalysen bietet die Studie einen historischen Überblick über die Genese der Gattung und die zentralen Motive des Künstlerdramas im 20. Jahrhundert.

""Soto is a clever and convincing reader of modernist prose and makes a fair case for the value of the generational model. [His book] beats notions of 'ages' or 'epochs', because it is organic and bridges individual and collective historiography, while also allowing for the non-contemporaneity of the contemporaneous, the coexistence of multiple generations in time and space."" -Modern Language Review ""[The Modernist Nation's] historical span is impressive, ranging from Ralph Waldo Emerson to James Baldwin. . . .

For the past four decades Frank Kermode, critic and writer, has steadily established himself as one of the most brilliant minds of his generation. Author and editor of over forty books, his prodigious output includes some of the best literary criticism to be published. Questioning the public's harsh perception of 'the artist', Kermode at the same time gently pokes fun at artists' own, often inflated, self-image. He identifies what has become one of the defining characteristics of the Romantic tradition - the artist in isolation and the emerging power of the imagination. The ingeniousness of Ke
