Modernist Literature and European Identity examines how European
and non-European authors debated the idea of Europe in the first
half of the twentieth century. It shifts the focus from European
modernism to modernist Europe, and shows how the notion of Europe
was constructed in a variety of modernist texts. Authors such as
Ford Madox Ford, T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, Aime Cesaire, and
Nancy Cunard each developed their own notion of Europe. They
engaged in transnational networks and experimented with new forms
of writing, supporting or challenging a European ideal. Building on
insights gained from global modernism and network theory, this book
suggests that rather than defining Europe through a set of core
principles, we may also regard it as an open or weak construct, a
crossroads where different authors and views converged and
collided.

While literary scholars and historians often draw on the press as a
source of information, First World War periodicals have rarely been
studied as cultural artefacts in their own right. However, as this
volume shows, the press not only played a vital role in the
conflict, but also underwent significant changes due to the war.
This Companion brings together leading and emerging scholars from
various fields to reassess the role and function of the periodical
press during the so-called 'Greater War'. It pays specific
attention to the global aspects of the war, as well as to different
types of periodicals that existed during the conflict, ranging from
trench, hospital and camp journals to popular newspapers,
children's magazines and avant-garde journals in various national
and cultural contexts.
