Grounding her argument in literary history, media studies, and the practice of close-reading, Jessica Pressman pairs modernist works by Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and Bob Brown, with major digital works like William Poundstone's \u003cem\u003eProject for the Tachistoscope {Bottomless Pit}, \u003c\/em\u003e Young-hae Chang Heavy Industries's \u003cem\u003eDakota\u003c\/em\u003e, and Judd Morrissey's \u003cem\u003eThe Jew's Daughter\u003c\/em\u003e to demonstrate how the modernist movement of the 1920s and 1930s laid the groundwork for the innovations of electronic literature. Accordingly, \u003cem\u003eDigital Modernism\u003c\/em\u003e makes the case for considering these digital creations as \"literature\" and argues for the value of reading them carefully, closely, and within literary history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890770329751,"sku":"9780199937080","price":14632.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199937080.webp?v=1781181265","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/digital-modernism-making-it-new-in-new-media-9780199937080","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
