    The environmentally conscious spatial imaginary that developed over hundreds of years in England\u2019s Lake District influenced modern perceptions of place, especially the post-colonial landscapes of British Columbia. This paper considers how the complex relationship between a well-known tourist destination with a history of poetic associations and environmental awareness and a former settler colony characterized by past imperial sympathies and present \u201cgreen\u201d consciousness are represented in Malcolm Lowry\u2019s writing and in the legacy that he left behind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

    This paper focuses on different figurations the modernist motif of European nihilism as they are manifest in three competing works by Elliot Paul, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, and Wyndham Lewis to show that the meaning and extent of nihilism as a problem was by no means settled in modernist thought and, further, that these contests over the meaning of the problem of nihilism should be understood as deeply imbricated in notions of the nation and its relation to history.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

    Many use suicide to escape trauma. \u00c9douard Lev\u00e9\u2019s epistolary novel,\u00a0Suicide<\/em>, approaches the narrator\u2019s trauma from his peer\u2019s suicide through the aesthetic response of a new text. Suicide, as the author presents it, becomes an aesthetic organism rather than a moral dilemma.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
