The Cambridge History of American Modernism, Hardback Book

The Cambridge History of American Modernism Hardback

Edited by Mark (University of Oregon) Whalan

Part of the The Cambridge History of American Literature series

Hardback

Description

The Cambridge History of American Modernism examines one of the most innovative periods of American literary history.

It offers a comprehensive account of the forms, genres, and media that characterized US modernism: coverage ranges from the traditional, such as short stories, novels, and poetry, to the new media that shaped the period's literary culture, such as jazz, cinema, the skyscraper, and radio.

This volume charts how recent methodologies such as ecocriticism, geomodernism, and print culture studies have refashioned understandings of the field, and attends to the contestations and inequities of race, sovereignty, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity that shaped the period and its cultural production.

It also explores the geographies and communities wherein US modernism flourished-from its distinctive regions to its metropolitan cities, from its hemispheric connections to the salons and political groupings that hosted new cultural collaborations.
