Gustave Flaubert

<< 1881 >>

In 1965 the English critic and essayist Cyril Connolly published The Modern Movement. One Hundred Key Books from England, France, and America 1880-1950. He defined the Modern Movement as a revolt against the bourgeois in France, the Victorians in England, the puritanism and materialism of America and chose as his "Key" books those that reflected this spirit. In chosing some authors he elected to group a few of their works together (particularly in the case of poetry selections by a single author which were subsequently republished together), so the list actually contains 106 titles.
