Beginning Modernism

"Beginning modernism" by Jeff Wallace (Author), Peter Barry (Series Editor), John McLeod (Series Editor), published by Manchester University Press. Modernism was the artistic and intellectual revolution of the early twentieth century. Yet despite its now-secure location in history, the radical experimental practices of modernism continue to bewilder as much as they excite. Beginning Modernism offers a clear and reader-friendly introduction to this complex and invigorating subject. With an emphasis on the close reading of modernist artefacts, from literary texts to buildings, paintings to musical compositions, the book aims to demystify the notorious difficulties of ‘high’ modernism, showing them to be an incentive rather than an obstacle to understanding and exploration.
