Modernisms A Literary Guide

"This is a very timely work that responds to a genuine need in courses and programs on modernism. Nicholls sees that modernism was not an organic phenomenon whose characteristics can be catalogued according to some ideal taxonomy, but a series of anguished questions about identity, desire, memory, culture, and the nature of modernity itself. Few efforts have been made to survey this vast field--this is undoubtedly the finest survey of its kind."--Lawrence Rainey, author ofEzra Pound and the Monument of Cultureand co-editor of the journalModernism/ModernityNicholls, Peter is the author of 'Modernisms A Literary Guide' with ISBN 9780520201033 and ISBN 0520201035.
