Edward Comentale exposes the links between art, literature and
early twentieth-century capitalism. Comentale shows how apparently
progressive avant-garde movements in their celebration of
individualism, competition and labor worked hand in hand with a
market defined by a monstrous increase in production and
consumption. Most importantly, he unearths an alternative modernist
practice based on a special kind of production that both critiques
and challenges economic production at large. He goes on to argue
that the British avant-garde, which has often been criticized for
its emphasis on classical stasis and restraint, sought to halt this
market activity and to think of less destructive ways of communal
belonging. Comentale provides an interdisciplinary study examining
art and sculpture as well as writing by Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot
and H. D. among others, in the light of psychoanalytic, economic
and political theory. This book will be of interest to scholars of
literary and cultural modernism.
