1 Modernism: A Cultural History, Polity, , Tim Armstrong 176 pages Modernism: A Cultural History, The last 20 years has seen an explosion of work on literary modernism and its cultural and historical contexts. In this innovative study aimed at a general audience, Tim Armstrong seeks to define modernism not only by its aesthetics and literary genres but also by its links with broader cultural areas in which the â ²modernâ ² is implicated and debated, and which inform its representational modes. Modernism: A Cultural History explores modernismâ ²s struggle with a split temporality in which the old and the emerging new struggle, and in which, with the horror of the Great War, notions of a traumatic or â ²frozenâ ² time emerge. It considers such topics as modernism, market culture and obscurity; the culture of science and technology; politics, economics, eugenics, and sexology; primitivism and race; cinema and sound recording; gender and modernism; and the study of consciousness and the senses. It portrays modernism less as a movement in revolt from the modern world than as attempting to engage with that world: the cry of â ²reform!â ² which characterizes much of postâ enlightenment thought is used to describe modernist writersâ ² engagement with politics or bodies as well as with inherited style. In this wideâ ranging study, a parade of writers â from the canonical like Pound, Eliot and Woolf to less wellâ known figures like Mary Butts, Muriel Rukeyser and Sterling Brown â are considered, and literary movements like Imagism, Surrealism and the Harlem Renaissance are drawn into the debate. Students and scholars alike, of Modernism and Twentieth Century Literature, will find the breadth, clarity and fresh approach of this text invaluable. file download pewoxyg.pdf
