This book offers a bold new view of the way in which modernist
fiction, painting, music, and poetry are interlinked. Dowden shows
that modernism, contrary to a longstanding view, did not turn away
from mimesis. Rather, modernism operates according to a deepened
understanding of what mimesis is and how it works, which in turn
occasions a fresh look at other related dimensions of the modernist
achievement. Modernism is neither "difficult" nor elitist. Instead,
it trends toward simplicity, directness, and common culture. Dowden
argues that naivete rather than highbrow sophistication was for the
modernists a key artistic principle. He demonstrates that
modernism, far from glorifying subjective creativity, directs
itself toward healing the split between subject and object. Mimesis
closes this gap by resolving representation into play and
festivity.
