'Gąsiorek and Waddell should be commended for bringing together a truly impressive cast of authorities on Lewis, who reaffirm here the provocative vitality of Lewis's work for modernist studies today. Critically eclectic and thematically comprehensive, this book combines broader cultural and literary-historical essays with energetic readings of key novels from Lewis's formidable oeuvre.' David James, Queen Mary, University of London The first guide to the work of Wyndham Lewis as writer, novelist and critic Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957) was one of the most innovative writers and painters of his time.

It features dedicated chapters on such novels as Tarr (1918), The Apes of God (1930), The Revenge for Love (1937), The Human Age sequence (1928-55) and Self Condemned (1954).
