In \u003cem\u003eLocating August Strindberg's Prose\u003c\/em\u003e, Anna Westerståhl Stenport argues that spatial setting is a key - though often neglected - tool for exploring the fundamentals of European literary modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStenport examines the importance of location by exploring the prose of Swedish exile August Strindberg (1849-1912), challenging previous studies of the author that have focused on identity and subject formation. Strindberg wrote in both Swedish and French, situating his stories in various places across Europe - from Berlin to the French countryside, the Austrian Alps, and Stockholm - to purposely destabilize concepts of national belonging, language, and literary history. Close readings of Strindberg's prose find that his boundary-challenging narratives redefine and rewrite the meaning of a marginal literary identity. By contextualizing Strindberg against other early modernists, including Kafka, Conrad, Rilke, and Breton, Stenport emphasizes the burgeoning transnationality of literature at the turn of the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Anna Westerst\u0026#229;hl Stenport","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575414554806,"sku":"9781442641990","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442641990_fff487fb-86e2-49fa-a6bc-3450f8952455.jpg?v=1727458539","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/locating-august-strindbergs-prose","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
