This book focuses on avant-garde literature and art in Europe and
America during the first quarter of the twentieth century. It
examines five movements that shaped our response to the demands of
the modern age and contributed to the creation of a modern
sensibility: Cubism, Futurism, the Metaphysical School, Dada, and
Surrealism. Each of these arose in response to recent scientific,
technological, and/or philosophical developments that drastically
affected modern civilization. In turn, each was responsible for a
major paradigm shift that altered the way in which we view-and
respond to--the world around us. The final chapter is comparative
in nature and studies the role of the mannequin in literature and
art during the same period.
