This book manifests at least four recent shifts and tendencies
within Modernist studies in general that point at the expansion of
this increasingly interdisciplinary field. First, Modernist studies
has seen a temporal expansion, to the extent that scholars in the
field have come to turn to both the pre- and posterior history of
Modernism. Second, the field has witnessed a spatial expansion, in
that increasingly so researchers have also come to scrutinize the
Modernisms of regions at the fringes of Europe, and beyond.
Thirdly, a vertical expansion too has marked Modernist studies in
recent decades, not only by further expanding the canon of women
writers and exploring the continuum between high- and lowbrow, but
also by looking at the artistic and mediatized hierarchies and
cross-fertilizations operative in the period. A fourth conceptual
expansion of the field shows that whereas concepts such as
"middlebrow," "arriere-garde," and to some extent even
"avant-garde," were once exotic notions of at best marginal
importance in European Modernist studies, they now form part and
parcel of the field, complicating and expanding it conceptually.
