This collection of essays on modernist culture reassesses the
convergence of low and high cultures, of socialist and aesthete,
late Victorian and young Georgian, the popular and the coterie.
Academic literary studies have until recently preferred to treat
the "opaque," "difficult" writings of high moderns Conrad, Yeats,
Woolf, and Eliot, and the more accessible work of the low moderns
Kipling, Shaw, and Wells in separate categories. In contributions
by scholars David Bromwich, Roy Foster, Edna Longley, Louis Menand,
Edward Mendelson, and others, High and Low Moderns brings these
writers into critical proximity. Essays on such topics as the
public mourning of Queen Victoria, Florence Farr and the "New
Woman," the Edwardian Shaw, Lady Gregory's attraction to Irish
felons, and the high artistic uses of low entertainments--cinema,
detective fiction, and journalism-- introduce a subtler model of
modernism, in which "demotic" and "elite" cultural forms criticize,
imitate, and address one another.
