Paul B. Armstrong's The Challenge Of Bewilderment presents a compelling analysis of literary modernism through the lenses of Henry James, Joseph Conrad, and Ford Madox Ford. This scholarly work argues that the concept of bewilderment serves as a crucial interpretive framework for understanding the complex narrative strategies and representational dilemmas inherent in their fiction. Armstrong uncovers how these authors grappled with the limits of human comprehension and the subjective nature of reality, illustrating their innovative approaches to character psychology and narrative structure. The text details the intricate ways in which these literary giants constructed worlds that both invite and resist definitive interpretation, offering profound insights into the modernist project. It is an essential read for scholars of 20th-century literature and narrative theory.
