Rooted in the cultural crises of the Weimar period, \u003ci\u003eAuto-da-F?\u003c\/i\u003e first received critical acclaim abroad -- in England, France, and the United States -- where it continues to fascinate readers of subsequent generations. \u003ci\u003eThe End of Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e places this work in its cultural and philosophical contexts, situating the novel not only in relation to Canetti's considerable body of social thought, but also within larger debates on Freud and Freudianism, misogyny and modernism's \"fragmented subject,\" anti-Semitism and the failure of humanism, contemporary philosophy and philosophical fads, and traditionalist notions of literature and escapist conceptions of history. \u003ci\u003eThe End of Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e portrays \u003ci\u003eAuto-da-F?\u003c\/i\u003e as an exemplum of \"analytic modernism,\" and in this sense a crucial endpoint in the progression of postwar conceptions of literary modernism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDonahue, William Collins:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - William Collins Donahue is the Cavanaugh Professor of the Humanities and the Director of the Initiative for Global Europe in the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.
