British modernism came of age at a time of great cultural anxiety
about the state of journalism. The new newspapers, with their
brief, flashy articles, striking visuals, hyperbolic headlines, and
sensational news, stood at the center of debates about reading in
the period, seeming to threaten the viability of representative
democracy, the health and vitality of the language, and the very
future of literature itself. Patrick Collier's study brings an
impressive array of archival research to his exploration of
modernism's relationship to the newspaper press. People who sought
to make their way as writers could neither remain neutral on this
issue nor abandon journalism, which offered an irreplaceable source
of income and self-advertisement. Collier discusses five modern
writers-T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, and
Rose Macaulay-showing how their work takes part in contemporary
debates about journalism and examining the role journalism played
in establishing their careers. In doing so, he uncovers tensions
and contradictions inherent in the identity of the 'serious artist'
who relied on the ephemeral forms of journalism for money and
reputation.
