A revelatory narrative of the intersecting lives and works of revered creators Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence during 1922, the beginning yr of modernism. The World Broke in Two instructs the fascinating report of the intellectual and personal journeys four legendary authors - Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence - make over the course of one pivotal yr. As 1922 commences, all are literally at a loss for words, confronting an uncertain creative future despite success before. The literary earth is moving, as Ulysses is published in February and Proust's In Search of Lost Time commences to be published in Great britain in the autumn. Yet, dismal as their potential customers appeared in January, by the end of the entire year Woolf has started Mrs. Dalloway, Forster has, for the first time in nearly ten years, returned to work on the novel that will become A Passage to India, Lawrence has written Kangaroo, his unjustly neglected and most autobiographical novel, and Eliot has finished - and published to acclaim - "The Waste products Land". As Willa Cather said, "The globe broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts", and what these authors were fighting that year is at fact the invention of modernism. Based on original research, Monthly bill Goldstein's The World Broke in Two captures both the literary breakthroughs and the intense personal dramas of these beloved authors as they strive for greatness.
