"Remembering Modernism in The Remains of Day, Cat's Eye, and Atonement" explores three late twentieth-century novels and their relationship to early twentieth-century Modernism. The analysis explores the novelists' return to modernist literary style during a period of Postmodernism predominance, employing literary innovations of the past to explore possibilities for the future.

520 $a "Remembering Modernism in The Remains of Day, Cat's Eye, and Atonement" explores three late twentieth-century novels and their relationship to early twentieth-century Modernism. The analysis explores the novelists' return to modernist literary style during a period of Postmodernism predominance, employing literary innovations of the past to explore possibilities for the future.
520 $a The examination of these three novels -- The Remains of the Day, Cat's Eye, and Atonement -- in part investigates how authors Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, and Ian McEwan, respectively, apply and question the tenets of Henry James's essay "The Art of Fiction" and Virginia Woolf's essay "Modern Fiction," both of which are pillars of modernist literary theory. Ishiguro, Atwood, and McEwan integrate elements of psychological complexity through narrative innovations, suggesting the influence and the memory of both James and Woolf. In each novel, the narrator's intricacies are depicted through a series of memories associated with the past but remembered in the narrator's present. Through these three novels, this research explores how contemporary literature recreates the past through the recollections of a narrator, a thoroughly modernist technique particularly embodied by the literary philosophy of James and Woolf.
520 $a The emphasis on memory and past events directs attention to the representation of history. Thus, "Remembering Modernism" also examines the depiction of history in The Remains of the Day, Cat's Eye, and Atonement, exploring how the events during and after World War II in these late-century novels compare to the depictions of the Great War in modernist texts. Specifically, all three authors' portrayals of history present a decidedly modernist view of the repercussions of world war.
520 $a Though "Remembering Modernism" devotes considerable attention to assessing the unmistakable footprint of Modernism in three late-century novels, Postmodernism's influence is also addressed. The presence of Postmodernism -- the more contemporary literary tradition -- in The Remains of the Day, Cat's Eye, and Atonement underscores the persistent validity of modernist theory, transcending the techniques of the popular literary fashion of the day. In short, these three novels demonstrate the ongoing influence and memory of literary Modernism in the late-twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
