This volume offers a comprehensive representation of the exciting,
pivotal, and urgent nature of literary Modernism, as well as more
recent approaches including the "global turn." Modernism can be

medicine, and philosophy. This volume's thoroughly explained,
informative, and interesting discussions provide: An extensive
introduction outlining the history and debates surrounding the
movement Numerous foundational texts of Modernism such as Darwin,
Duncan, Nietzsche, Einstein, Freud, Hughes, Luxemburg, Nietzsche,
Stein, Zola Full texts and extracts representing Modernist writers

Woolf and Yeats, as critics of themselves and their contemporaries
A chronology of key historical events and publications A glossary
of key terms, people, theories and themes A detailed further
reading section offering advice on further study and research A
companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/carter) featuring an
interactive timeline with dates and images that contextualise the
literature of the period, as well as author biographies and links
to additional resources and videos. Addressing current as well as
historical debates about Modernism, this book includes discussion
of the Harlem Renaissance, feminism and women's writing,
international and global movements and anti-imperialism, while
acknowledging the variety of competing modernisms. This is the
ideal guide for anyone seeking an overview and an in-depth
