Title: Against the Quotidian Machine: Woolf, Hemingway, and Proust
Author/Creator: Zena Meadowsong
Publication Details: Narrative Machine: The Naturalist, Modernist, and Postmodernist Novel, pp.133-152
Annotation: Machine-made traumas of war reverberate through Virginia Woolf s Mrs. Dalloway (1925) and, in turn, The Sun Also Rises, not only as matters of fact but as elements of narrative structure. Examines Jake Barnes s inability to escape the reality of his wound, a condition triggered and endlessly refracted by modern technology. Discusses the telephone, airplanes, and automobiles as mechanical, destabilizing forces in Proust s In Search of Lost Time (1913).
