Summary
This collection offers a revisionist picture of modernism. This group of prominent scholars including Havey Teres, David Bromwich, A. Walton Litz, Louis Menand, and Lucy McDiarmid consider the major modernist writers who are customarily treated as if they wrote in different eras and different worlds: the "epicene" high modernists (such as Yeats, Joyce, Eliot and Woolf) and the more "popular" low modernists (including Hardy, Shaw and Wells), and bring these writers into critical proximity with one another.
