Product Description
This collection offers a revisionist picture of modernism. This group of prominent scholars including Havey Teres, David Bromwich, A. Walton Litz, Louis Menand, and Lucy McDiarmid consider the major modernist writers who are customarily treated as if they wrote in different eras and different worlds: the "epicene" high modernists (Yeats, Joyce, Eliot, Woolf, et al) and the more "popular" low modernists (Hardy, Shaw, Wells, et al), and bring these writers into critical proximity with one another.
