Tracing the stylistic self-conceptualization of modernism from
Schopenhauer and Flaubert in the 1850s, through Nietzsche and the
symbolists in the 1880s, to the high modernists of the 1920s, this
book explores the far-reaching implications of Roland Barthes'
claim that modern literature is "saturated with style." It offers
both a broad, comparative survey of European modernism and an
inventive re-reading of the major genres of the period, namely
poetry, prose, and the manifesto. With reference to a wide range of
canonical figures, including Aragon, Baudelaire, Eliot, Remy de
Gourmont, Joyce, Mina Loy, Thomas Mann, Jean Paulhan, Proust,
Rilke, Tzara, Valery, and Virginia Woolf, Hutchinson argues that
modernism oscillates between embracing a literature of "pure" style
and rejecting a literature that is "purely" style. Between these
two poles, style emerges, in the words of John Middleton Murry, not
as "an isolable quality of writing, but as writing itself."
