Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One preoccupation of modem English fiction is to depict the spiritual development of characters. The characters' states of consciousness are usually self-centered. This is the main barrier to achieving contact with other human beings. This thesis illustrates how three of the leading English novelists of the earlier twentieth century: Conrad, Joyce, and Lawrence show their protagonists' internal struggle to maintain individuality, and struggle with others to overcome loneliness through a suc¬cessful relationship. It is hoped that this research will further understanding of the works of Conrad, Joyce, and Lawrence and of the embattled self in modern English fiction in general.
