The first guide to the work of Wyndham Lewis as writer, novelist,
and critic. This critical guide introduces the reader to the work
of Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), a major modernist and thought
provoking satirist who was at the centre of the avant garde in
early 20th century London and a key figure in the development of
Vorticism. These 15 newly commissioned essays explain the complex
role Lewis's work played in the formation, development, and
criticism of modernism. There are chapters on Lewis and Vorticism
and Avant Gardism, War, Cultural Criticism, Satire, Race and
Gender, Politics, Technology and Mass Media, and Modernism as well
as individual chapters on key texts, including Tarr, The Apes of
God, The Revenge for Love, The Human Age, and Self Condemned. With
an Introduction, an opening chapter on Lewis's pre war writing and
a closing chapter on his reputation and legacy, this is the most
thorough survey of Lewis's work to date. Provides a clear and
reader friendly overview of Lewis's literary, critical, and non
fictional achievements for readers with no prior knowledge of his
work; includes a biographical overview of Lewis's life and writing
career, a detailed bibliography and a chronology of key publication
dates of academic criticism on Lewis; explores Lewis's most
important novels in individual chapters and expert contributors
include David Bradshaw (University of Oxford), Ian Patterson
(University of Cambridge), Scott W. Klein (Wake Forest University),
Miranda Hickman (McGill University), Paul Edwards (Bath Spa
University), and Alan Muntun (University of Exeter).
