The thirteen essays and 'Afterword' in Modernism and Nostalgia:
Bodies, Locations, Aesthetics address the multiple meanings of
nostalgia in the experimental literature of the early twentieth
century. Whether depicted as a felt emotion, a form of memory, or a
type of fixation, the essays demonstrate that nostalgia involves a
tension between past and present, a tension that modernist writers
depicted in order to bring the past into conversation with the
present. Theses essays show how modernist writers responded to the
upheavals of the period - war, modernization, and a number of
geographic and social dislocations - from the unique mode of
insight made available by nostalgia. The essays in this collection
demonstrate that the nostalgic impulse in modernist literature
reveals how deeply rooted in the damaged, the old, the vanishing,
and the lost were the variety of efforts to imagine and produce the
new - the distinctly modern.
