Aesthetics and Ideology of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and T. S. Eliot

This book examines the aesthetic and ideological aspects of Modernism in the works of Lawrence, Woolf, and Eliot, highlighting their debates on fragmentation, disunity, relativity, tradition, and the depiction of life's disorder. It argues that these authors used aesthetics as a means to promote certain ideologies, while simultaneously presenting a different view on their characters as opponents and perpetrators of established views. The book reconciles this duality through their emphasis on aesthetic unity.
