Modernism in the Green traces a trans-Atlantic modernist
fascination with the creation, use, and representation of the
modern green. From the verdant public commons in the heart of
cities to the lookout points on mountains in national parks,
planned green spaces serve as felicitous stages for the performance
of modernism. In its focus on designed and public green
zones,Modernism in the Green offers a new perspective on
modernism's overlapping investments in the arts, politics,
urbanism, race, class, gender, and the nature-culture divide. This
collection of essays is the first to explore the prominent and
diverse ways greens materialize in modern literature and culture,
along with the manner in which modernists represented them. This
volume presents the idea of "the green" as a point of exploration,
as our contributors analyze social-organic spaces ranging from
public parks to roadways and refuse piles. Like the term "green,"
one that evokes both more-than-human natural zones and crafted
public meeting places, these chapters uncover the social and
spatial intersection of nature and culture in the very architecture
of parks, gardens, buildings, highways, and dumps. This book argues
that such greens facilitate modernists' exploration of how nature
can manifest in an era of increasing urbanization and mechanization
and what identities and communities the green now enables or
prevents.
