Brings ideas and animals together to shed new light on modernist
magazine culture Tests the concept of 'primordial' modernism as a
tributary of primitivism, Jungian thought, and fraught nationalisms
Provides readings of Eugene Jolas's creative and critical works
that place him centre-stage in modernist studies Moves between
unpublished archival material, reception studies, and readings of
overlooked authors Considers a wide range of modernist authors and
artists as befitting to such a rich document Touches on
contemporary scientific discourse as an aspect of animal studies
This adventurous study focuses on experimental animal writing in
the major interwar journal transition (1927-1938), which contains a
striking recurrence of metaphors around the most basic forms of
life. Amoebas, fish, lizards, birds - some of the 'lowest' and
'oldest' creatures on earth often emerge at the very places authors
seek expressions for the 'newest' and the 'highest' in art.
Discussing works by James Joyce, Henry Miller, Gottfried Benn,
Eugene Jolas, Kay Boyle, Bryher, Paul Eluard and more, Cathryn Setz
investigates this paradox and provides a new understanding of
transition's contribution to twentieth-century periodical culture.
