This short introduction to modernism analyses the movement from
the perspective of English and American literature. It provides a
critical overview of some of the central texts of literary
modernism, considering both established works and those that have
only recently come to critical attention. Author David Ayers shows
that, however diverse modernist texts are, they are linked by
concerns about social modernization and the role of art and the
artist. He also demonstrates that German Marxism and French
deconstruction have been crucial in realizing the full complexity
of modernism. Ayers's arguments are illustrated with reference to
the works of T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, Wallace
Stevens, H. D., Nancy Cunard, Wyndham Lewis and Mina Loy, among
others.
