This new study argues that modernist literature is characterised by a 'multilingual turn'. Examining the use of different languages in the fiction of a range of writers, including Lawrence, Richardson, Mansfield, Rhys, Joyce and Beckett, Taylor-Batty demonstrates the centrality of linguistic plurality to modernist forms of defamiliarisation.

Juliette Taylor-Batty is Associate Principal Lecturer in English at Leeds Trinity University, UK. She has published articles on Joyce, Beckett, Nabokov and Rushdie and is the co-author of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
