Synopsis

The Modernist World is an accessible yet cutting edge volume which redraws the boundaries and connections among interdisciplinary and transnational modernisms. Over 60 new essays are equally divided to address literature, visual arts, theatre, dance, architecture, music and film, with a final section drawing these together as 'intellectual currents'. The book also covers a variety of 'modernisms' from around the globe, drawing innovative links and connections to paint a picture of the 'Modernist World'. A clear and detailed introduction introduces the terrain, as well as pointing out the plurality and adaptability of the area. The Modernist World is essential reading for both beginners and more advanced scholars in the area - offering clear introductions alongside new and refreshing insights.
