Description
Modernism in a Global Context explores how literary modernism was shaped by transnational exchanges between Western and non-Western cultures. This survey of key issues and debates in contemporary Modernist Studies covers topics such as imperialism, cosmopolitanism, global literary institutions, mass media, and photography.
The book examines the work of influential writers and critics, including T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, Wole Soyinka, Salman Rushdie, Edward Said, Pascale Casanova, Paul Gilroy, and Gayatri Spivak, among others. A comprehensive annotated guide to further reading and online resources is also included.
By considering the global dimensions of modernist literature, this book provides a nuanced understanding of 20th-century literary culture and its ongoing relevance today.
