The Dismemberment Of Orpheus by Ihab Hassan
Toward a Postmodern Literature
A concise critical study arguing that twentieth-century literature and art dismantle classical mythic unity and the idea of a stable subject, replacing harmony with fragmentation, montage, and playful intertextuality; through close readings of avant-garde and postwar poets and artists, it traces how surrealist, Dadaist, and other experimental techniques produce paradox, linguistic self‑consciousness, and a pluralistic, postmodern sensibility.
