The Sound of the Past: Echoes and Incantations in Eliot, H.D., and Woolf

What animates the relation between past and present, and how might loss itself become a generative force? "The Sound of the Past" reconsiders the works of T. S. Eliot, H. D., and Virginia Woolf as interlocutors for pressing concerns—porosity, interconnection, and the conditions of individual freedom. Moving across modernist studies, poetics, ecocriticism, and archival theory, the authors of these essays develop rigorous new readings that not only reposition canonical figures but also amplify resonances that have long remained inaudible. Erudite and incisive, the collection demonstrates how modernist texts continue to shape the horizons of contemporary thought.
