Modernism was the artistic and intellectual revolution of the early
twentieth century. Yet despite its now-secure location in history,
the radical experimental practices of modernism continue to
bewilder as much as they excite. Beginning Modernism offers a clear
and reader-friendly introduction to this complex and invigorating
subject. With an emphasis on the close reading of modernist
artefacts, from literary texts to buildings, paintings to musical
compositions, the book aims to demystify the notorious difficulties
of 'high' modernism, showing them to be an incentive rather than an
obstacle to understanding and exploration. At the same time, it
highlights the emergence of a new modernist studies, emphasizing
the eclectic, the popular, and the global or transnational. Readers
are encouraged to situate their reading of modernist literature
within a wider set of cultural contexts, which include: visual art;
ideas of time and space; sculpture; photography; film; politics;
technology; sexuality; primitivism; architecture; dance; drama, and
music. Beginning Modernism will be of interest both to the general
reader, and to undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of
literary studies, art history and cultural studies. -- .
