The Oxford Handbook of Modernisms situates literary modernisms and
the modernist arts in a series of unfolding relations with mass
society and popular culture in both national and transnational
settings. An unparalleled resource containing over fifty specially
commissioned essays, the Handbook updates and extends the scope and
depth of previous synoptic guides, bringing together new approaches
to the more obvious themes of modernist studies as well as new
research on the variety of cultural, aesthetic, and geographical
factors that were intrinsic to the creation of modernism. The
contributors draw upon a variety of interdisciplinary approaches
and new methodologies in order to take account of the development
of revisionist modernist studies over the past three decades. Two
particularly innovative features of the Handbook are its focus upon
the cross media and international character of modernism. A number
of the essays examine visual culture and other media in order to
delineate the aesthetic, intellectual, and cultural formations
linking the innovations and experiments of literary modernism with
work in other arts and media. Others seek to analyse how
Anglo-American and European models were inflected in a different
temporal frame and in quite distinct geographical contexts. The
Handbook is divided into six sections in order to reflect changed
critical perspectives upon modernism's formal innovation and
experiment, to foreground the relation of literature and the other
arts, and to understand these in appropriate intellectual, social,
and geocultural settings. The received canon is therefore revisited
and 'made new' as the varying aspects of metropolitan, regional,
national, and transnational modernisms come into view.
