Historical Modernisms: Time, History and Modernist Aesthetics: Historicizing Modernism

Editat de Professor Jean-Michel Rabaté, Angeliki Spiropoulou
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 mai 2023
Examining the ways in which modernism is created within specific historical contexts, as well as how it redefines the concept of history itself, this book sheds new light on the historical-mindedness of modernism and the artistic avant-gardes. Cutting across Anglophone and less explored European traditions and featuring work from a variety of eminent scholars, it deals with issues as diverse as artistic medium, modernist print culture, autobiography as history writing, avant-garde experimentations and modernism's futurity. Contributors examine both literary and artistic modernism, combining theoretical overviews and archival research with case studies of Anglophone as well as European modernism, which speak to the current historicizing trend in modernist and literary studies.

Recenzii

Modernism, as Terry Eagleton points out in his witty foreword to this volume, "involves nothing less than the fashioning of whole new forms of human subjectivity." But this emphasis on newness and nowness conceals the dependence of modernism on the past. Even Ezra Pound's famous rallying cry "Make it new" implies a pre-existing "it" to be transformed anew. This volume brings together leading scholars to question the idea that modernism breaks free of the past or escapes what Joyce's Stephen Dedalus calls "the nightmare of history." Instead, these scholars show how modernism interrogates the methods and meanings of history, challenging any facile division between now and then.
This is a magnificent collection which conjugates modernism and history in marvellously illuminating essays. Modernism often promised to awake from the nightmare of history but it found it difficult to ignore its own historical origins. These essays which range from a reflection on the small magazines in which modernist writing found its most congenial setting to a consideration of Andre Breton as an office manager emphasise the very specific histories in which the general category of modernism took shape.
