Against the backdrop of the First\u003cbr\u003eWorld War, they chose to write about more than modernist art and aesthetics. By\u003cbr\u003eclosely reading and contextualizing their contributions, Paul Jackson's study\u003cbr\u003eengages with the political and philosophical responses of literary artists to\u003cbr\u003emodernity. Jackson demonstrates the need to interpret modernism not merely as an\u003cbr\u003eaesthetic phenomenon, but inherently linked to politics and philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy placing the writing of a canonical modernist, Wyndham Lewis, against a\u003cbr\u003efigure usually excluded from the modernist canon, H.G. Wells, Jackson examines\u003cbr\u003efurther a wartime modernism that embraced socialist and political views. This\u003cbr\u003ereinterpretation of modernism provides a historicised understanding of the\u003cbr\u003epoliticised hopes of artists promoting revolutionary forms of cultural renewal.\u003cbr\u003eConsidering modernist writers' relationship between politics, philosophy and\u003cbr\u003eaesthetics in the context of total war Jackson encourages new\u003cbr\u003ecultural-historical definitions of modernism. In addition this study provides\u003cbr\u003ethe first close analysis of cultural contributions from a leading wartime\u003cbr\u003eLittle Magazine, tracing the radical modernist debates that developed in its\u003cbr\u003epages.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45084047343767,"sku":"9781441180087","price":17737.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441180087.webp?v=1767264277","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/great-war-modernisms-and-the-new-age-magazine-9781441180087","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
