The Collected Works of Wyndham Lewis brings together for the first
time all of the published writings of Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), a
major contributor to literary modernism and one of the most
important British painters of the first half of the twentieth
century. This is the first comprehensive edition of Time and
Western Man, with explanatory notes, previously unpublished drafts,
a history of composition, and an account of its critical reception.
Originally published in 1927, Time and Western Man is one of
Lewis's most important books, and a pioneering work of cultural
criticism. It contains scathing criticism of his fellow modernist
writers, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein. The second
part of the book analyses and attacks the philosophy of 'Time',
focusing especially on Henri Bergson, A. N. Whitehead, Samuel
Alexander, and Oswald Spengler. Many of Lewis's most penetrating
arguments are in the drafts that are printed in this edition for
the first time.
