Recenzii
A timely and observant piece of research that should be of great interest to scholars of modernism, the medical humanities, and beyond.
Modernism and Physical Illness presents excellent original research. It also offers a study in how one might think about the relationship between illness and literary criticism more generally, and the necessary limits to how one might form arguments out of illness.
This is a study that prompts more reflection about modernism and illness and does so in such a way that is useful to our current moment.
Overall, Modernism and Physical Illness adds a rigorous close reading of Fifield's selected authors to the ongoing work being done in modernist studies. The intersection of modernist aesthetics and physical illness is rich with possible contributions to our understanding of the modernist movement overall. Fifield's reading is a thoughtful addition that adds dimension to modernist studies while providing groundwork for forging new alliances with new work in disability studies.
Recommended.
