The Modernist Papers is a tour de force of analysis and criticism,
in which Jameson brings his dynamic and acute thought to bear on
the modernist literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Jameson discusses modernist poetics, including the work of
Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarme, Wallace Stevens, Joyce, Proust and
Thomas Mann. He explores the peculiarities of the American literary
field, taking in William Carlos Williams and the American epic, and
examines the language theories of Gertrude Stein. Refusing to see
modernism as simply a Western phenomenon, he also pays close
attention to its Japanese expression, while the complexities of a
late modernist representation of twentieth-century politics are
articulated in a concluding section on Peter Weiss's novel The
Aesthetics of Resistance. Challenging our previous understandings
of the literature of this period, this monumental work will come to
be regarded as the classic study of modernism.
