  An accessible and comprehensive introduction to the structural origins of modernism, combining discussion of key theoretical issues with studies of four prominent authors: Gerard Manley Hopkins, W B Yeats, T S Eliot and Ezra Pound. The author describes the particularly modernist use of sign, symbol, metaphor, metonymy and myth and explores their internal contradictions and impasses.
