Braiding together strands of literary, phenomenological and art
historical reflection, Modernism and Phenomenology explores the
ways in which modernist writers and artists return us to wonder
before the world. Taking such wonder as the motive for
phenomenology itself, and challenging extant views of modernism
that uphold a mind-world opposition rooted in Cartesian thought,
the book considers the work of modernists who, far from presenting
perfect, finished models for life and the self, embrace raw and
semi-chaotic experience. Close readings of works by Paul Cezanne,
Gertrude Stein, Franz Kafka, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Wallace
Stevens, Paul Klee, and Virginia Woolf explore how modernist texts
and artworks display a deep-rooted openness to the world that turns
us into "perpetual beginners." Pushing back against ideas of
modernism as fragmentation or groundlessness, Mildenberg argues
that this openness is less a sign of powerlessness and deferred
meaning than of the very provisionality of experience.
