Opis

Where did literary modernism happen? This book answers this question, re-evaluating the parameters of modernism in the light of recent developments in literary geography and literary history through an examination of novels, poetry, theatre, and "little magazines." Essays identify and appraise the local attachments of modernist texts in particular geographical regions and question the idea of the "regional" in light of the alienating displacements of transnational modernity.
