The Edinburgh Dictionary of Modernism (Paperback)

The first dictionary to gather, delineate and make accessible the literary, artistic, critical, cultural and political practices that we associate with Modernism. The Edinburgh Dictionary of Modernism provides a wide ranging resource both to the canon of 'High Modernism' and to current theoretical perspectives that have contributed to the renewed interest in Modernism and have lent it renewed range and critical rigour in the early twenty first century. A team of current experts in the field provide clear and fully contextualised definitions of key terms, concepts, texts, movements, practitioners, as well as influential critical views and legacies. The entries cover Anglophone Modernism as well as giving full attention to significant figures, ideas and movements in European, North and South American culture and to influences from non Western cultures. The Dictionary can be used either as a companion to the editors' successful Modernism: An Anthology of Sources and Documents or as a stand alone reference work and provides both new researchers and experienced scholars with a thorough and up to date guide to this vibrant field.It is the first dictionary to cover the movements, concepts and figures associated with European Modernism and to place them in an international frame; it comprises authoritative entries written by a dedicated team of experts in the field; offers a timely and rich addition to the resources available to students and scholars of a subject currently in great demand throughout the English speaking world and with its chronological and thematic scope and comprehensive coverage, the Dictionary is set to become the definitive work of reference in the field.
