Set against the backdrop of the Weimar period's cultural crises, Canetti's Auto-da-Fe explores complex themes such as misogyny, anti-Semitism, and the fragmentation of modern identity. The End of Modernism contextualizes this novel within Canetti's broader social thought and ongoing philosophical debates, including those surrounding Freud and literary traditions. It positions Auto-da-Fe as a pivotal example of "analytic modernism," marking a significant point in the evolution of postwar literary modernism and its critiques.
