Making a strong case for a revaluation of Wyndham Lewis
(1882-1957), this collection argues that significant aspects of
Lewis's writing, painting, and thinking have not yet received the
attention they deserve. The contributors explore Lewis's
contributions to the production and circulation of modernism and
assess the links between Lewis's writing and painting and the work
of other key contemporary figures, to position Lewis not only as
one of the first twentieth-century cultural critics but also as one
who anticipated the work of the Frankfurt School and other social
theorists. Familiar topics and themes such as Vorticism receive
fresh appraisals, and Lewis's significance as a philosopher-critic,
novelist, and artist becomes fully realized in the context of his
associations with important figures such as John Rodker, Charlie
Chaplin, Evelyn Waugh, Naomi Mitchison, and Rebecca West. Lewis
emerges as a figure whose writings on politics, corporate
patronage, shell shock, anthropology, art, and cinema extend their
influence into the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.
