"This Companion has long been a standard introduction to the field.
Now fully updated and enhanced with four new chapters, it addresses
the key themes being researched, taught and studied in modernism
today. Its interdisciplinary approach is central to its success as
it brings together readings of the many varieties of modernism.
Chapters address the major literary genres, the intellectual,
religious and political contexts, and parallel developments in
film, painting and music. The catastrophe of the First World War,
the emergence of feminism, the race for empire, the conflict among
classes: the essays show how these events and circumstances shaped
aesthetic and literary experiments. In doing so, they explain
clearly both the precise formal innovations in language, image,
scene and tone, and the broad historical conditions of a movement
that aspired to transform culture"--
