This study introduces a genuine, provocative religious vocabulary
into the discourse on Modernist art and literature. Mulman looks at
key texts and figures of the Modern period, including Henry Roth,
Amedeo Modigliani, James Joyce, and Art Spiegelman, revealing a
significant engagement with the rituals of Jewish observance and
the structure of Talmudic interpretation. While critics often view
the formal experimentation of High Modernism as a radical departure
from conventional beliefs, this book shows that these aspects of
Modernist art are deeply entwined with, and indebted to, the very
traditions that they claim to be writing against. As such, the book
offers a unique and truly multidisciplinary approach to Modernist
studies and a cogent analysis of the ways in which spirituality
informs artistic production.
