This edition will help remedy this by presenting the first English translation of Valle-Inclán's innovative First World War chronicle, accompanied by a critical introduction that situates the author within the central concerns of European modernism. A remarkable innovator, who wrote poetry, novels, drama, essays, and art criticism, Valle-Inclán was a strong influence on a generation of literary and visual artists, and his work is in conversation with the literary experimentation of modernists such as T. S. Eliot and James Joyce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMidnight\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful account of Valle-Inclán's experiences on the Western Front in 1916.
