"This study demonstrates how a disparate selection of authors deals with similar problems in similar ways. It tells us something important about how modernism is plural and not just a singular phenomenon and adds to and extends our understanding of the richness of the literature of the twentieth century." -- Derek Hand, James Joyce Quarterly "V???clav Paris's critical study brings together what appears to be a collection of unlikely literary bedfellows. Each text, in its way, is unorthodox or marginal, certainly experimental in form and theme." -- Derek Hand, James Joyce Quarterly "In The Evolutions of Modernist Epic , Paris proved to be a true comparatist by bypassing all the artificial limitations and boundaries of various genres, concepts, and ideologies such as Darwinism, epic and world literature in order to analyze personal and unique "evolutions" of individuals represented in selected modernist works. By combining science with literature, he offers an unbiased reading to better understand the human nature." -- B???ke Sa lam, PhD fellow and researcher, Slavica Litteraria "There is a glee in reading something that opens possible ways forward, rather than suggesting one definitive path." -- Journal of Modern Literature
