Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-03469-3 — The Cambridge History of Modernism Edited by Vincent Sherry Frontmatter More Information THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF MODERNISM This Cambridge History of Modernism is the first comprehensive history of modernism in the distinguished Cambridge Histories series. It identifies a distinctive temperament of “modernism” within the “modern” period, establishing the circumstances of modernized life as the ground and warrant for an art that becomes “modernist” by virtue of its demonstrably self-conscious involvement in this modern condition. Following this sensibility from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth, tracking its manifestations across pan-European and transatlantic locations, the forty-three chapters offer a remarkable combination of breadth and focus. Prominent scholars of mod- ernism provide analytical narratives of its literature, music, visual arts, architecture, philosophy, and science, offering circumstantial accounts of its diverse personnel in their many settings. These historically informed readings present definitive accounts of the major work of twentieth-century cultural history and provide a new cornerstone for the study of modernism in the current century. vincent sherry is Howard Nemerov Professor in the Human- ities and Professor of English at Washington University in St. Louis. A prominent scholar of modernism, he is the author of Modernism and the Reinvention of Decadence (2015), The Great War and the Language of Modernism (2003), James Joyce’s Ulysses (1995, 2005) and Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and Radical Modern- ism (1993).
