MULTILINGUALISM AND MODERNITY - LAURA LONSDALE ...

This book explores multilingualism as an imaginative articulation of the experience of
modernity in twentieth-century Spanish and American literature. It argues that while individual
multilingual practices are highly singular  literary multilingualism exceeds the conventional
bounds of modernism to become emblematic of the modern age. The book explores the confluence of
multilingualism and modernity in the theme of barbarism  examining the significance of this
theme to the relationship between language and modernity in the Spanish-speaking world  and the
work of five authors in particular. These authors - Ramón del Valle-Inclán  Ernest Hemingway 
José María Arguedas  Jorge Semprún and Juan Goytisolo - explore the stylistic and conceptual
potential of the interaction between languages  including Spanish  French  English  Galician 
Quechua and Arabic  their work reflecting the eclecticism of literary multilingualism while
revealing its significance as a mode of response to modernity.
